Field of application

Levelflex FMP56 is particularly designed for light-duty process conditions as they occur in silos and storage tanks for solids. FMP56 guided radar offers maximum reliability even in case of dusty atmosphere in narrow silos or in vessels with obstacles. Levelflex FMP56 is used for continuous level measurement in powdery to granular bulk solids. Dust, filling noises, temperature layers and gas layers do not affect the measurement. Remote access with SmartBlue app via Bluetooth module is available.

Version with rope probe.

Process connections: Thread or adapter flange
Temperature: -40 to +120°C (-40 to +248°F)
