Information

Ultra-compact flow indicator for monitoring pneumatic and mechanical transport processes of bulk solids

The Solimotion FTR16 is ideally suited for the monitoring of mass flow and reliably detects whether flow is present or not. It can be used wherever the movement of bulk material needs to be monitored cost‑effectively. The individual adaptation to the application is carried out with the help of parameterizable functions. The device can be used in multiple industries like primaries, energy and food.

Non-contact measuring principle - detection almost independent of process properties

High security - permanent self-diagnosis and full self-test

First flow indicator for bulk solids with IP69 protection classification

Meets the requirements of EU 1935/2004

Very simple and cost-effective commissioning

Safe detection - non-contact measuring method guarantees wear-free and maintenance-free continuous operation

Robust design - housing made of stainless steel
