Soliphant M--easy overspill protection.

Endress+Hauser's brand new Soliphant M level limit switch for fine-grained or powdery solids offers outstanding performance, even in hazardous areas (ATEX and SIL 2 certified). Available as a compact, extension tube or cable version, Soliphant M provides reliable level measurement from 145mm to 20m in solids applications from cement, mortar and dye powders to powdered milk, sugar and animal feed.

Operating using the vibrating fork principle with no mechanically moving parts, Soliphant M is virtually maintenance-free. It is insensitive to external vibrations and build-up, offering a long service life. However, Soliphant M's real bonus is the integrated self-checking function. This allows the user to monitor the whole system, even down to the fork assembly, without having to climb to the top of the silo! Not only does this reduce the time spent on manual checking, but also minimises the potential for accidents at work--all without the need to install fieldbus systems! The self-check also eliminates environmental concerns as at the push of a button on the bottom of the silo, overspills such as blowing dust into the atmosphere can be easily prevented. Soliphant M is perfect for a variety of applications. It can even be used to detect solids levels underwater--the probe recognises the difference between liquid and solid and only switches if covered by sand or sludge--ideal for the water industry. And, with its short fork version (100mm), Soliphant M can fit into processes where space is limited.
