FTM20 Vibronic Point level detection Soliphant

Compact limit switch for bulk solids

Field of application

Soliphant FTM20 is a point level switch for applications with fine-grained or coarse-grained, non-fluidized bulk solids. The various designs means the device has a wide range of applications. Certificates are also available for use in dust and hazardous areas.

Point level switch in compact design with stainless steel housing.

  • Process connections: Threads

  • Temperature: -40 to +150°C (-40 to +302°F)

  • Pressure: -1 to +40bar (-14.5 to +580psi)

  • International explosion protection certificates, marine approvals

Benefits

  • Operational safety, reliability and universal applicability through use of the tuning fork measuring principle

  • Measurement is unaffected by conductivity, build-up, turbulence, flows or air bubbles

  • Simple and fast commissioning, no calibration required

  • No mechanically moved parts, free of maintenance

  • Safe function due to self-monitoring (active frequency monitoring of the fork)

  • Easy recurring function test via test magnet

  • Suitable for constricted space due to compact design

  • Measuring principle
