Soliswitch FTE30 - Point Level Switch For Bulk Solids

 

 

 

Simple mechanical mechanism, extremely robust and cost-effective
point level switch for bulk solids

 

The economical Soliswitch FTE30 is a paddle switch for point level detection in bulk materials.
Its robust polymer housing and compact design makes it an ideal sensor for full, empty and demand
alarm in applications with bulk solids. The optimized materials make the unit outstandingly robust and
therefore suitable for use in dust explosive areas.

 

Benefits

  • Reliable and economical paddle switch with Zone 20 Ex certification

  • Highest safety standard for dust-explosion-hazardous areas

  • Diverse instrument designs for use under different application conditions

  • Slip clutch prevents impact on paddle

  • Ingress protection to IP65 for optimum safety in the process

 

 

Field of application

  • Process connections: G 1½", PBT; G 1½", 1.4305; Reinforced shaft G 1½", 1.4305

  • Sensor length: Different standard lengths between 100mm (4") and 600mm (24"),
    additional rope length of 2,000mm (80") (can be shortened)
