INFORMER in-line fluid monitoring package The easy, affordable way to measure fluids, reduce waste and save money
Finally an INFORMER is a great tool for reducing paint waste, collecting data and improving the finishing process. PART NO. 243312 Informer is an EASY-TO-USE fluid monitoring package that ACCURATELY measures flow rate and the amount of material that passes through a fluid line. Features EASILY COLLECT EPA DATA Informer automates EPA reporting, taking the guesswork out of calculating HAPs and VOCs. No more collecting data by hand. No more time-consuming manual calculations. The Informer automatically collects and, with the optional PrecisionView AMR 2.0 software, sends accurate fluid usage data directly to your PC, where the final report is created. REDUCE PAINT WASTE Informer tells you when spray guns are wasting paint due to worn tips or calibration. This eliminates fluid waste and saves money. QUICK GUN CALIBRATION Key Applications Manual spray finishing Automatic spray finishing Solvent metering Single fluid dispensing Key Industries Auto feeder Truck and bus Automotive Farm and construction Aerospace Wood Informer makes it easy to calibrate spray guns. No more overspraying or underspraying. By monitoring and adjusting flow rates, Informer makes the process more efficient.
