- SKU:
- Soliphant FTM51 series
- Weight:
- 0.00 Grams
Description
Application
The Soliphant FTM51 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 suitable for a wide variety of applications, with international certifications for use in hazardous areas involving dust or gas. The device is available with options such as a polished fork and stainless steel housing with Tri-Clamp, or an aluminum housing with a coated fork. It operates maintenance-free and is ideal for applications like cereals, flour, cocoa, sugar, animal feed, dye powder, and chalk.
Key features include:
- Suitable for fine-grained solids and powders
- Process connections: Threaded, flanged, and hygienic (Tri-Clamp)
- Operating temperature range: -50 to +280°C (-60 to +540°F)
- Pressure range: -1 to +25 bar (-14.5 to +360 psi)
- Sensor length: 300 mm to 4,000 mm
- Sensor material: 316L with optional coatings (3.2 µm, 0.8 µm, PTFE, ETFE)
- International explosion protection certifications
Benefits
- Complies with SIL2 safety standards as per IEC 61508
- Maintenance-free operation due to lack of mechanical moving parts
- Reliable performance unaffected by build-up or external vibrations
- Offers multiple electronic inserts such as NAMUR, relay, thyristor, and PFM-signal outputs for seamless integration with plant control systems
- Optional features include build-up and abrasion detection, adjustable density settings, and selectable switching delays
- Available with either coated or polished sensor options for enhanced durability
- Provides build-up and corrosion detection capabilities
