Point level detection for bulk solids, especially for high temperatures and strong mechanical loads

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.

Additional components

  • Benefits

    • Highest safety and reliability due to extremely robust design for harsh process conditions

    • Cost savings thanks to easy and fast commissioning as calibration is performed at the press of a button

    • Cost-effective, reliable and universal application thanks...

  • Field of application

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

    • Process connections: Flanges and threads

    • Measurement range: 200 to 20,000mm (20 to 787")

    • Temperature: -50 to +400°C (-58 to +752°F)
