Soliphant FTM 31 DR
The Soliphant FTM 31 DR with extension tube e.g.
– if mounting is only possible from above
– if the switch point is to be altered using the sliding sleeve (accessory)
– with heavy build-up on the silo wall (mounting from above or from the side)
Take into account the angle of the mound or outflow funnel:
– for calculating the required length of the sensor when ordering a
Soliphant FTM 31 DR
– for calculating the length of the mounting nozzle and mounting point, if you have an
instrument with a specific length.
The Soliphant FTM 31 DR may not be shortened!
Mounting from above:
Mount in the centre of the discharge hopper order to keep the lateral load caused by
discharging material to a minimum; or close to the vessel wall with an extra fastening
near to the fork.
Mounting from the side:
Only order the length of extension tube required as very strong forces can affect the
Soliphant due to outflowing material or when homogenising the material.
Fasten a very long Soliphant extension tube by using a tight-fitting nozzle or fastener.
Maximum length of a mounting nozzle:
Length of the Soliphant from process connection to the tip of the fork minus 7 in
(170 mm).
Check that there is enough space outside the silo for mounting.
