The Solimotion FTR20 solids flow indicator is a non-contact measuring instrument based on microwave technology, especially suitable for monitoring mass flow (in real time or not in real time), economical and practical. With its compact design, it is a cost-effective solution for monitoring the conveying process of bulk solids. It can be adjusted individually to the application via configuration functions such as automatic calibration.
Benefits
Compact device: sensor, transmitter and power supply unit are installed in the same housing for easy installation.
Cost-effective monitoring of the mass flow of bulk solids (in real time or not in real time).
Non-contact, flush installation.
Easy installation using R 1½ or 1½ NPT thread or a mounting bracket.
The electronics housing can be rotated through 360°, so the device can be optimally aligned after installation.
Robust mechanics: no wear; optional ceramic diaphragm for wetted parts; long service life; maintenance-free.
Mass flow signal
Application
Typical areas of application and bulk solids include:
Building materials industry: cement, plaster, wood chips, etc.
Chemical industry: fertilizers, plastic powders and granules, silica, etc.
Food industry: coffee, tea, tobacco, cereals, malt, animal feed, etc.
Energy generation industry: coal, coal dust, fly ash, coke, etc.
