Field of application

Levelflex FMP53 for continuous level measurement for hygienically sensitive applications in the food and life sciences industry. FMP53 meets the hygiene requirements according to ASME BPE and USP Class VI. The unique in situ validation without dismantling from the process is a cost saving advantage. FMP53 guided radar offers maximum reliability even in case of moved surface and foam, for changing medias and in case of filling via spray head.

Version with rod probe.
