Low Flow Indicators Designed for Critical Mold Cooling Channels
NPE2024: Low-flow applications can benefit from Burger & Brown Engineering’s Smartflow solution, which provides high visibility into the flow channels of molds to ensure bench verification.

Burger & Brown Engineering is displaying Smartflow low flow indicators, designed to show the presence of flow inside flow channels between 0.08 and 1 GPM (0.3 to 4 LPM). High visibility rotors spin behind a viewing window at flow rates that do not register on conventional mechanical flow meters.
High-temperature and pressure models are ideal for pressurized water circuits commonly used in cooling engineering resins. Standard temperature units for use up to 210°F include options to add temperature and pressure gauges along with Delta-Q flow regulators.
The flow regulators are of value to mold builders and maintenance personnel for bench verification of flow inside tool paths with critical flow restrictions such as bubblers or baffles.
Connection sizes are 3/8" NPT and BSPP for high-temperature and pressure models. Sizes 1/4-1/2" NPT and BSPP connections are available in standard temperature models to provide the widest range of application possible.
