FlowSwitch FS 510M

Name: FlowSwitch FS 510M
Brand: MUTEC
Availability: InStock

The FlowSwitch FS 510 is based on modern microwave technology. If material passes the sensor, the emitted microwaves are reflected. This is converted into a switching process. The sensor can be installed within pipes, on conveying belts, fall plates, chutes or at similar transport facilities.

It allows safe identification of flow / no-flow, inadequate or missing material, plugs, blockage or standstill – from several meters distance. It does not impact the bulk material and is wear- and maintenance-free.

More info

It allows safe identification of flow / no-flow, inadequate or missing material, plugs, blockage or standstill – from several meters distance. It does not impact the bulk material and is wear- and maintenance-free. All parameters, like sensitivity, damping, filter time and hysteresis are adjustable, and the sensor can easily be adapted to any use.

The FlowSwitch FS 510 is known as the most robust flow monitor of its class. It is made of stainless steel and optimized for a long lifetime. High ATEX ratings and adapters for high pressure allow use in the most difficult environment.
