Bulk products level indicator FMN series

column typestainless steelcompact

Sturdy construction Maintenance-free Reliable operation Insensitive Adaptable to pressure and vacuum Adjustable to very high or low temperatures Filling level indicators serve for reliable monitoring and signalling of the product levels in silos, containers etc. They can be used as full-, request- or empty indicators. Due to their sturdy and enclosed design, they are insensitive to external influences such a high or low pressure, build-up of static electricity, bulk material residue on the probes and strong dust formation. Design Cover and body are made of cast aluminium. All parts in contact with the product are made of stainless steel. If desired, the level indicators are available with a pressure resistance of up to 10 bar. Special versions for temperatures of up 220°C in the containers are also available. How it works Full indicator: When during the filling operation of silos or containers the product column rises and reaches the rotating blade, the slowly moving rotor is stopped. This causes the asynchronous motor in the body to change its position and to actuate a microswitch which emits a "full" signal. The rotor is stationary until the decreasing product level frees the rotating blade. The motor then returns to its initial position. Request, empty indicator: When product is discharged and the level falls, the stationary rotor blade of the request or empty indicator is freed which causes a warning signal or switching impulse to be transmitted to the control system.
