Endress+Hauser Soliphant T FTM20 & FTM21 Point Level Switches
Endress+Hauser Soliphant T FTM20 and FTM21 Point Level Switches feature robust construction for use in fine-grained or coarse-grained, non-fluidized bulk solids. These plug-and-play devices offer simple and fast commissioning with no calibration required, and no mechanically moving parts mean they are free of maintenance. The switches are also insensitive to build-up for additional maintenance-free operation. Both the FTM20 and FTM21 versions offer a design that enables the ability to install the switch in any direction, while the 316L stainless steel sensor material resists abrasion, even with building materials. Endress+Hauser Soliphant T FTM20 and FTM21 Point Level Switches use thread process connections. Typical applications include cereals, coffee beans, sugar, animal feed, detergents, cement, sand, plastic granules, and more. Certificates are also available for use in hazardous and dust areas.
