The Solicap FTI55 fully or partially insulated rod probe can be used for limit detection of fine and coarse-grained solids. With its automatic buildup compensation, the probe provides the highest measurement reliability and has obtained various relevant approvals and permits for a wide range of applications. It has a robust construction and withstands lateral tensile loads of up to 300Nm, providing high measurement accuracy.
Advantages
Ultra-robust probe specially designed for demanding process conditions
Fast and simple calibration and commissioning by key operation
Various approvals and permits for a wide range of applications
Two-stage overvoltage protection against electrostatic discharge of the tank
Automatic buildup compensation for granular solids prone to caking (in development)
Permanent self-monitoring of the electronics increases safety
Rod sensors (partially insulated) and cable sensors (partially or fully insulated) can be shortened, reducing inventory costs
Areas of application
This compact transmitter is suitable for limit detection of fine and coarse-grained solids and can operate in minimum or maximum fail-safe mode. Thanks to its robust construction, it provides high-precision measurement even under extremely high lateral tensile loads (maximum load of 300Nm for rod sensors). Used together with Fieldgate (remote control of measured values via Internet technology), the Solicap M is an ideal solution for raw material supply and logistics optimization (inventory control).
