Capacitance Limit Detection
nivocompact FTC 131/231/331
Compact level limit switches for bulk solids
Applications
The Nivocompact FTC... is used for limit
detection in silos containing bulk solids
(for minimum or maximum level
indication). Three versions cover almost
any measuring application:
FTC 131 with rod probe ø 25 mm,
for mounting laterally or from above.
Mainly for maximum detection of
fine-grained or powdery bulk solids.
For minimum detection in small silos
with light bulk solids.
For use in the food processing industry.
Advantages:
• Complete unit consisting of probe with
plug-in electronic insert:
– simple mounting, low installation
costs
– for automation and control systems
(PLC, PCS, PC, relays, contactors,
etc.)
• No moving parts in silo:
– no wear, long operating life
– no maintenance
• Simple calibration:
– variable switchpoint with probes
mounted from above
• Rope version can be easily shortened:
– can be used for various limit values
– short delivery time
