Vibronic Point level detection Soliphant FTM52
Field of Application :
The Soliphant FTM52 is a rugged and maintenance-free point level switch designed for silos containing fine-grained or powdery solids, even those with low bulk density. It is ideal for bulk material storage in industries such as food processing, agriculture, chemicals, and manufacturing.
With international explosion protection certificates, the FTM52 ensures safe and reliable level detection even in hazardous areas (dust and gas environments).
Applications :
- Silo level monitoring for powders and fine solids
- Bulk storage and inventory control
- Overfill protection in food, chemical, and industrial applications
- Explosion-proof environments with dust/gas safety requirements
- Extended sensor lengths for deep silos (up to 20m)
