Field of application

The Solimotion FTR20 flow indicator for bulk solids is a non-contact device based on microwave technology. It is ideally suited for cost-effective monitoring of a mass flow (present or not present). The compact device can be used wherever the cost-effective monitoring of bulk solids movement is required. Individual adjustments to the application can be carried out by means of configurable functions (incl. automatic calibration).

Building materials industry: Cement, plaster, wood chips etc.Chemicals: Fertilizers, plastic powder and granules, silica etc.Food industry: Coffee, tea, tobacco, cereals, animal feeds etc.Energy production: Coal, carbon dust, fly-ash, coke etc.

Process connections: Threads or a suitable mounting bracket

Temperature: -40 to +450°C (-40 to +842°F), with adapter for temperature reduction

Pressure: 0.5 to 6.8bar abs standard (7.2 to 98.6psi abs)

International explosion protection certificates

Key Benefits

  • Sensor, transmitter and power unit mounted in one housing, which means less effort for installation and mounting
  • High safety level compliant with international explosion protection certificates
  • Flush-mounted installation, non-contact installation possible for ideal integration into the process
  • Electronics housing can be rotated by 360° allowing adjustment into optimum position after installation
  • High cost-effectiveness thanks to its mechanical robustness: No wear, process-wetted ceramic sensor diaphragm (optional), long service life, maintenance-free
  • Signaling of mass flow (present or not present)
