Field of application
The Solimotion FTR16 is an ultra-compact flow indicator for efficient and reliable monitoring of pneumaticand mechanical transport processes of bulk solids. It can also be used in difficult-to-access or confined installation conditions. For non-metallic container materials, measurement from the outside is possible.
The Solimotion FTR16 is ideally suited for the monitoring of mass flow rates and can be used wherever a bulk material movement has to be monitored cost-effectively. The individual adaptation to the application is carried out with the help of parameterizable functions. The device can be used in multiple industries like primaries, energy and food.
