Silopilot FMM50 - Electromechanical Level measurement

Silopilot FMM50 is an electromechanical level system. Depending on the sensing
weight, the level can be measured in bins or silos with dusty, fine-grained or
coarse-grained bulk solids or in tanks with liquids.

 

Benefits

  • High reliability level measurement of powdery, fine-grained or coarse-grained bulk solids

  • Safe measurements in extremely dusty environments

  • Fully electronic digital minimum fail-safe control, therefore no running down of the sensor
    weight into the silo outlet and no risk to the conveying systems

  • Quick menu-guided local operation using a 4-line text display

  • High performance three-phase engine (traction power up to 500N) using a single-phase supply
    voltage by employment of a converter, therefore simple electric supply

  • Optional design with certification for application in areas subject to dust explosion hazard zones
    20, 21 and 22 (measuring zone) or zones 21 and 22 (device zone), category 1/2D

For level measurement in bunkers or silos for dusty, fine or coarse-grained bulk products, or in tanks containing liquids.
