Solimotion FTR16 is an ultra-compact microwave flow detector for reliable and efficient monitoring of bulk solids conveyed pneumatically or mechanically. It can also be installed in hard-to-access positions or confined spaces, and it can measure through the wall of non-metallic tanks.
Benefits
Non-contact measuring principle — process properties do not interfere with the detection process
High safety — with permanent self-diagnostics and comprehensive self-test functions
The first bulk solids flow detector with IP69 degree of protection
Complies with the requirements of EU Regulation 1935/2004
Easy commissioning and excellent price-performance ratio
Safe detection —— non-contact measuring method, wear-free, maintenance-free, continuous operation
Robust and durable —— stainless steel housing
Application
Solimotion FTR16 is the ideal choice for mass flow monitoring, efficiently monitoring the conveying process of bulk solids. Parameter settings are performed as required and can be flexibly adapted to the actual application. The instrument meets the requirements of various industries and is widely used, for example in the primary raw materials, energy and food industries.
