Precision Flow Measurement for Hygienic Food & Drink Processes
In the food and beverage industry, precision and hygiene are nonnegotiable. Whether it’ s brewing, soft drink production, or food processing, accurate measurement of liquids under hygienic conditions ensures consistent product quality, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency.
One product designed to meet these exacting standards is the Metri IC-HBT Hygienic Turbine Flow Meter, part of the Metri Measurements range from iCenta Controls.
Engineered specifically for hygienic environments, this turbine flow meter combines robust CNC machined 316 stainless steel construction with ease of cleaning, making it ideal for breweries, dairies, and food manufacturers.
Built for Hygienic Performance
The IC-HBT is available with Tri- Clamp and RJT connections and is manufactured entirely from solid 316 stainless steel, with no castings and a highly competitive price point. This ensures long-term durability, even in challenging applications involving viscous or semiclean liquids such as vegetable oils, foodstuffs, and vinegars.

Optional electro-polishing provides an even higher level of finish for processes that demand additional hygiene assurance. Designed with cleaning in place( CIP) in mind, the IC-HBT can be steam-cleaned at low pressure, helping operators minimise downtime while ensuring the meter remains accurate and reliable throughout its service life.

Why It Matters for Food & Beverage Producers
The ability to measure flow accurately is crucial for batching, dosing, and quality control. In brewing, for example, consistent flow measurement ensures recipes are reproducible at scale. In soft drinks, accurate dosing of syrups and water guarantees consistent taste and compliance with labelling standards.
The Metri IC-HBT offers:
• Long-term accuracy and repeatability
• Simple installation and maintenance
• Reliability even in demanding hygienic application.
