The Solimotion FTR16 is an ultra-compact flow indicator for efficient and reliable monitoring of pneumatic
and 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.

• Non-contact measuring principle - detection almost independent of process properties

• High security - permanent self-diagnosis and full self-test

• First flow indicator for bulk solids with IP69 protection classification

• Meets the requirements of EU 1935/2004

• Very simple and cost-effective commissioning

• Safe detection - non-contact measuring method guarantees wear-free and maintenance-free continuous operation

• Robust design - housing made of stainless steel
