Field of application

The Solimotion FTR20 flow indicator for bulk solids is a non-contact device based on microwave technology. It is ideally suited for cost-effective monitoring of a mass flow (present or not present). The compact device can be used wherever the cost-effective monitoring of bulk solids movement is required. Individual adjustments to the application can be carried out by means of configurable functions (incl. automatic calibration).

Building materials industry: Cement, plaster, wood chips etc.
Chemicals: Fertilizers, plastic powder and granules, silica etc.
Food industry: Coffee, tea, tobacco, cereals, animal feeds etc.
Energy production: Coal, carbon dust, fly-ash, coke etc.

Process connections: Threads or a suitable mounting bracket
Temperature: -40 to +450°C (-40 to +842°F), with adapter for temperature reduction
Pressure: 0.5 to 6.8bar abs standard (7.2 to 98.6psi abs)
International explosion protection certificates

Benefits

Sensor, transmitter and power unit mounted in one housing, which means less effort for installation and mounting
High safety level compliant with international explosion protection certificates
Flush-mounted installation, non-contact installation possible for ideal integration into the process
Electronics housing can be rotated by 360° allowing adjustment into optimum position after installation
High cost-effectiveness thanks to its mechanical robustness: No wear, process-wetted ceramic sensor diaphragm (optional), long service life, maintenance-free
Signaling of mass flow (present or not present)
