The flange allows indirect volume measurement to be taken without contact with the material, making it suited for use in the pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics sectors.

Data gathered is relayed for evaluation via pulse transmission. The hygiene-conform measurement guarantees a high reproducibility combined with a theoretical accuracy of +/- 1 pulse per measurement.

The volume per impulse for pumps with an outside diameter of 21 mm is: 7.5 ml. For pumps with an outside diameter of 26 mm it is 12.5 ml.

Combined with the Viscoflux drum emptying systems, Flux says the system is can be used for substances including fats, petroleum jelly and tomato purée.
