Compact measuring device for non-contact flow detection for bulk solids
Application
The FTR20 flow indicator for bulk solids is a non-contact
device based on microwave technology. It is ideally suited for
monitoring pneumatic and mechanical transport processes for
bulk solids. The compact device can be used wherever the cost-
effective monitoring of bulk solids movement is required.
Typical areas of application or bulk solids are:
• Building materials industry: Cement, plaster, wood chips etc.
• Chemical industry: Fertilizers, plastic powder, granules etc.
• Food industry: Coffee, tea, tobacco, cereals, malt etc.
• Energy production: Coal, carbon dust, fly-ash, coke etc.
Individual adjustments to the application are carried out
by means of configurable functions (including automatic
calibration). In addition, changes in the mass flow can be
analyzed by the optional 4 - 20 mA current output.
Device properties
• Detection range up to 20 m depending on the bulk solids
• Process temperatures up to +70 °C (+158 °F) or +450 °C
(+842 °F) with optional high temperature adapter
• Process pressure up to 680 kPa (6.8 bar) absolute or 2 MPa
(20 bar) absolute with optional high pressure adapter
• For use in hazardous areas (dust)
