Field of application

Solicap FTI56 is a fully/partly insulated and robust rope probe for point level detection of fine-grained to coarse-grained bulk solids. It offers maximum reliability and is suited for a wide range of applications thanks to numerous certificates and approvals. Due to its robust construction, it can also be used to provide accurate measurements in applications with very high tensile loads up to 60kN.

For applications with very high tensile loads up to 60kN. Fieldgate and Solicap represent a solution for material provisioning and logistical optimization (inventory control).

Process connections: Flanges and threads
Measurement range: 500 to 22,000mm (20 to 866")
Temperature: -50 to +180°C (-58 to +356°F)
Pressure: -1 to +25bar (-14.5 to +363psi)
International explosion protection certificates, SIL

Benefits

Extremely robust design for harsh process conditions
Cost savings thanks to easy and fast commissioning as calibration is performed at the press of a button
Universal application thanks to wide range of certificates and approvals
Two-stage overvoltage protection against static discharges from the silo
Increased safety due to permanent automatic monitoring of electronics
Reduction in storage costs thanks to easy-to-shorten rod model (for partial insulation) and rope model (for partial and full insulation)
