2.1 Application
Soliphant is a rugged limit switch for silos containing powdered or fine-grained solids,
including those with very low bulk densities.
The material must be pourable, i.e. it must not stick or bake on.
The various versions ensure it can be used in a wide range of applications, including
explosion-hazardous areas and foodstuffs.
The instruments are designed for use in industrial applications.
Typical applications:
grain, flour, milk powder, cocoa, sugar, animal feed,
washing powders, dyes, chalk, plaster, cement, plastic granules
