Capacitance Point level detection Minicap FTC260

Designed for light bulk solids

Minicap FTC260 is a simple and cost-effective rod probe for point level detection in bulk solids, particularly suited to applications involving aggressive media and heavy build-up. It is designed for point level detection of light bulk solids, e.g. grain products, flour, milk powder, animal feed, cement, chalk or gypsum.

Benefits

Simple mounting and commissioning without calibration
Mechanical safety, cost-efficiency and long operating life due to no wearing parts
High operational safety and reliability due to active build-up compensation

Field of application

For point level detection of light bulk solids, with a grain size up to max. 30mm and a dielectric constant εr ≥ 1.6.
Typical applications: Grain products, flour, milk powder, animal feed, cement, chalk or gypsum.
