Technical Characteristics and Operational Safety
-
Mechanical Reliability: The FMM20 uses a tried-and-tested electromechanical principle that remains unaffected by the dielectric constant of the material, dust clouds, or vapor, making it a “go-to” solution when radar or ultrasonic sensors face challenges.
-
Advanced Fail-Safe Control: It features a fully electronic digital minimum fail-safe control. This critical safety feature prevents the sensor weight from accidentally running down into the silo outlet, protecting downstream conveying systems from damage.
-
User-Friendly Interface: Commissioning is simplified through a menu-guided local operation using a clear, 4-line text display. This allows for quick setup of measuring intervals and silo height parameters.
-
Versatile Power Options: The device is equipped with a wide-range power unit (90 to 253VAC) or a 24VDC version, ensuring compatibility with various industrial electrical infrastructures.
-
High Dust Tolerance: Because the measurement is mechanical, the FMM20 provides safe and accurate readings even in environments with extreme dust concentrations where non-contact sensors might suffer from signal attenuation.

التطبيقات الأساسية
-
Agricultural Silos: Accurate level monitoring of wheat, corn, and other cereals where dust is constantly present during filling.
-
Plastic Processing: Measuring plastic granulates and resin powders in storage bunkers.
-
Powder Storage: Ideal for fine-grain powders in the chemical or food industry that tend to create heavy dust blankets.
-
Construction Materials: Monitoring sand or dry mortar levels in medium-sized silos.
-
Liquid Tanks: Can be used in liquid tanks where surface foam or heavy vapor prevents the use of ultrasonic or radar technology.
