Why your current reading costs you production
Above about 40% solids the line can plug. Without a reading they trust, operators sit near 20% solids and pump water. A gauge that ignores temperature and vibration gives the shift a number it will not hold.

What changes with a Red Meter
- Percent solids on the discharge while the cutter is still in the cut.
- Pressure from the same device shows pump load.
- Solids production rose 36% in the same study.
