- SKU:
- Soliphant FTM50 series
- Weight:
- 0.00 Grams
Description
Application
The Soliphant FTM50 is a durable point level switch designed for use in silos containing fine-grained or powdery solids, even those with low bulk density. It is versatile and certified for use in hazardous areas with dust or gas. The device is available with a polished fork and stainless steel housing with a Tri-Clamp connection, or with an aluminum housing and coated fork. It is a maintenance-free solution ideal for typical applications such as cereals, flour, cocoa, sugar, animal feed, dye powder, and chalk.
- Suitable for fine-grained solids and powders.
- Process connections available: Threads, flanges, and hygienic Tri-Clamp connection.
- Operating temperature range: -50°C to +280°C (-60°F to +540°F).
- Operating pressure range: -1 to +25 bar (-14.5 to +360 psi).
- Sensor lengths: 145mm, 200mm.
- Sensor materials: 316L with optional surface finishes (3.2µm, 0.8µm), or coatings (PTFE, ETFE).
- Certified for international explosion protection standards.
Benefits
- SIL2 certified according to IEC 61508.
- Maintenance-free operation with no mechanically moving parts.
- Unaffected by material build-up or external vibrations.
- Multiple electronic insert options: NAMUR, relay, thyristor, and PFM signal outputs for seamless integration with plant control systems.
- Selectable features include build-up and abrasion display, density settings, and switching delay.
- Choice between coated or polished sensor options.
- Capabilities for build-up and corrosion detection.
