Endress+Hauser FTI55: Robust Bulk Solid Detection

The Endress+Hauser FTI55: Robust Bulk Solid Detection is a cutting-edge capacitive rod probe meticulously engineered for point level detection in fine-grained to coarse-grained bulk solids. Its design incorporates full or partial insulation, ensuring its robustness and reliability in even the most challenging industrial environments. The FTI55 stands out by offering maximum reliability, thanks to its active build-up compensation and a wide array of international certificates and approvals, making it a truly versatile instrument for diverse applications.

Applications: Lateral Loads and Inventory Control

The applications: lateral loads and inventory control showcase the FTI55’s exceptional capabilities. This probe is specifically designed to handle very high lateral loads, withstanding forces up to 300Nm. This makes it an ideal solution for silos and bunkers where bulk solids can exert considerable pressure, preventing damage and ensuring consistent measurement. Furthermore, the FTI55, in conjunction with Fieldgate and Solicap systems, provides a comprehensive solution for material provisioning and logistical optimization, including precise inventory control, thereby enhancing supply chain efficiency and reducing operational costs.

Capacitive Principle for Solid Level Sensing

The capacitive principle for solid level sensing is at the heart of the FTI55’s reliable performance. This technology, specifically tailored for bulk solids, allows for accurate detection regardless of the material’s properties or the presence of build-up. The simple calibration process further streamlines setup and maintenance, making it an incredibly user-friendly device. Its ability to effectively handle abrasive media also extends its utility to harsh industrial settings, ensuring consistent, long-term performance.

Built for Extreme Temperature and Pressure Conditions

The built for extreme temperature and pressure conditions means the FTI55 operates reliably in a wide range of environments. It can withstand process temperatures from -50 to +180°C (-58 to +356°F) and pressures from vacuum to +25 bar (-14.5 to +363 psi). This resilience, combined with its robust construction, allows the FTI55 to provide accurate and consistent measurements even under severe operational stresses. This robust design guarantees longevity and reduces the need for frequent replacements, contributing to significant cost savings.

Safety and Certifications: Uncompromised Performance

Safety and certifications: uncompromised performance are paramount to the FTI55’s design. It features a two-stage overvoltage protection system, crucial for safeguarding against static discharges common in silo environments. The probe boasts numerous international explosion protection certificates, including ATEX, FM, CSA, IEC Ex, and SIL approvals, ensuring the highest level of safety in hazardous locations. Permanent automatic monitoring of the electronics further enhances safety, providing continuous reliability and peace of mind.

Operational Benefits: Cost Savings and Ease of Use

Operational benefits: cost savings and ease of use are key advantages of the FTI55. Commissioning is exceptionally simple and fast, thanks to its single-button calibration. This not only saves significant time during installation but also minimizes labor costs. Furthermore, the FTI55’s design allows for easy shortening of both rod and rope models, offering flexibility for various measurement ranges and contributing to reduced storage costs, making it a highly economical choice for inventory management.

Specialized Features for Enhanced Adaptability

Specialized features for enhanced adaptability make the FTI55 highly versatile for diverse bulk solid applications. It offers options such as inactive length and active build-up compensation for materials prone to caking. With a measurement range of 0.2 to 4 meters (8 to 157 inches), and an inactive length capability from 0.1 to 1 meter (2 to 39 inches), the FTI55 can be perfectly tailored to specific silo dimensions and material characteristics. This adaptability ensures optimal performance in a wide array of industrial settings.
