A bulk flow meter having an inclined baffle plate disposed within a conveying space in the path of a bulk material to be measured is provided. The meter includes a measuring chamber that is separated from the conveying space by a partition. The baffle plate is carried by a baffle plate support which is horizontally movable under the impact of the bulk material and which includes a rod-shaped connecting member that extends through an opening in the partition. A dust protector is provided for preventing dirt and dust from entering the measuring chamber from the conveying space. The dust protector includes a rigid tube that surrounds a portion of the length of the rod-shaped connecting member on the baffle-side of the partition. Flexible diaphragms are provided for connecting the rigid tube to the partition and to the rod-shaped connecting member. |
