Technical Characteristics and Robust Design
-
Mechanical Reliability: The FTE20 features a robust polymer housing designed to withstand the mechanical stresses of the bulk solids industry. Its construction ensures a long service life even in abrasive or demanding environments.
-
Automatic Rotation Monitoring: For increased process safety, the device includes overfill protection with automatic rotation monitoring. This ensures that the system can distinguish between a “full” state and a potential mechanical failure.
-
Visual Status Check: An integrated optical rotation control allows for fast and easy checking of the device status during installation or troubleshooting without opening the housing.
-
Adaptability: The sensor offers tool-free adjustment to the weight of different bulk solids. By simply adjusting an internal spring, the sensitivity can be matched to light powders or heavy ores.
-
Flexible Installation: The housing can be rotated up to 360° after it is screwed into the process connection, allowing for perfect alignment of cable entries and indicators regardless of the mounting position.
