The FMP56 is a standard, commonly used cable guided radar level meter for solids. If higher precision or a rod version is required, use the FMP57.
The Levelflex FMP56 is designed for level measurement in solids silos or storage tanks. Even in narrow silos with heavy dust or in ship holds with obstacles, the FMP56 provides the most stable measured values. The FMP56 is used for continuous level measurement of powdered, granular and other bulk solids. The measurement is unaffected by dust, filling noise, temperature or gas phase media.
