Faqs:
What types of materials can the Soliphant FTM50 detect?
The Soliphant FTM50 is designed for fine-grained or powdery bulk solids like cereals, flour, sugar, animal feed, and dyes, with detection capabilities as low as 10 g/L.
How does the Soliphant FTM50 work?
It uses a vibrating fork excited at its natural resonance frequency. When covered by material, the vibration changes, triggering a switching signal without mechanical parts.
What are the key safety features of the Soliphant FTM50?
It has international explosion-protection certifications for hazardous zones and supports Safety Integrity Level SIL2 under IEC 61508, ensuring reliable operation in high-risk environments.
