FTI77 Capacitance Point level detection Solicap

Field of application

Solicap FTI77 is a partly insulated sword/rope probe for point level detection of fine-grained to coarse-grained bulk solids. It offers maximum reliability due to its active build-up compensation and is suited for a wide range of applications thanks to numerous certificates and approvals. Due to its robust construction, it can also be used in applications with very high lateral loads (up to 800Nm, sword version), high temperatures and abrasive media.

For applications with very high lateral loads (up to 800Nm for sword version) and in applications with abrasive media.
