Soliphant M Vibronic FTM50, FTM51, FTM52
Universal point level switch for fine-grained bulk solid
Soliphant M is a robust point level switch for silos with fine-grained or dusty bulk solids
even with a low bulk weight.
The various designs mean the device has a wide range of applications.
Many certificates are available for use in dust or gas incendive hazard areas.
FTM50:
Compact design for installation in any position. A wide range of applications thanks to various variations e.g.
• Polished short fork with stainless steel housing (F15) and Tri-Clamp
• Coated standard fork with aluminum housing (F17) and flange
• Standard fork with 280 °C (536 °F) rating and aluminum housing (F13)
FTM51:
With extension pipe up to 4 m (13 ft) for installation in any position
FTM52:
With rope up to 20 m (66 ft) for installation from above
Typical applications:
Cereals, flour, cocoa, sugar, animal feed, detergents, dye powder, chalk, gypsum, cement, plastic granules, fly ash
• Market leader in the area of level detection of bulk solids
• Functional safety up to SIL 2 as per IEC 61508
• No mechanically moving parts: no wear, long operating life
• Insensitive to external vibrations and build-up
• Various electronic inserts: e.g. NAMUR, relay, thyristor and PFM-signal outputs for optimum alignment with the plant control system
• Configurable density setting (bulk weight setting) and switching delay
• Process temperature up to 280 °C (536 °F)
• Choice of coated or polished sensor
• Diagnostic function: warning in the event of impending device failure due to buildup or abrasion
