Endress+Hauser Microwave flow indicator Solimotion FTR20
- Brand: Endress+Hauser
- Type: FTR20
For monitoring pneumatic and mechanical transport processes for bulk solids
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).
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)
