Fundamental Fundamental

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. 30 mm and a dielectric constant εr ≥ 1.6.

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