Application
The Soliphant FTM50 is a reliable level switch designed for silos containing fine-grained or powdered materials, including substances with low bulk density. It carries international certifications for use in hazardous areas with dust or gas. Available options include a polished fork with stainless steel housing featuring Tri-Clamp connections, or an aluminum housing with coated fork. Suitable for continuous operation in typical applications: grain, flour, cocoa, sugar, animal feed, powdered dyes, chalk.
Level switch for fine-grained and powdered materials.
