Endress+Hauser Solicap FTI56 Capacitance Point level detection

• Extremely robust design for harsh process conditions
• Cost savings thanks to easy and fast commissioning as calibration is performed at the press of a button
• Universal application thanks to wide range of certificates and approvals
• Two-stage overvoltage protection against static discharges from the silo
• Increased safety due to permanent automatic monitoring of electronics
• Reduction in storage costs thanks to easy-to-shorten rod sku (for partial insulation) and rope sku (for partial and full insulation)

For applications with very high tensile loads up to 60kN. Fieldgate and Solicap represent a solution for material provisioning and logistical optimization (inventory control).
