Introduction

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)

Field of application

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
