Description

The Solimotion FTR16 is an ultra-compact flow indicator for efficient and reliable monitoring of pneumatic and mechanical transport processes of bulk solids. It can also be used in difficult-to-access or confined installation conditions. For non-metallic container materials, measurement from the outside is possible.

Field of application

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.
