Field of application

Minicap FTC262 is a simple and cost-effective rope 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.

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.

Process connection: Threads
Temperature: -40 to +80°C (-40 to +176°F)
Pressure: -1 to +6bar (-14.5 to +90psi)
Sensor length: 500mm (20") to 6,000mm (236")
International explosion protection certificates, overfill prevention WHG

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
Optimized storage by simply shortening the rope probe on site
