Radar Level Sensor for Bulk Solids Levelflex FMP56
- SKU:
- Levelflex FMP56 series
- Weight:
- 0.00 Grams
Description
Application
The Levelflex FMP56 is specifically designed for light-duty process conditions, commonly found in silos and storage tanks containing bulk solids. The FMP56 guided radar ensures maximum reliability, even in challenging environments such as dusty atmospheres, narrow silos, or vessels with obstacles. It is ideal for continuous level measurement of materials ranging from powders to granular bulk solids, unaffected by dust, filling noise, temperature gradients, or gas layers. Remote access is available through the SmartBlue app via a Bluetooth module.
The version is equipped with a rope probe.
