About Kimo Fluxicont FU4SK / FU4LK Process and Automation Instruments

Flow transmitter/flow switch for general industrial and for hygienic and aseptic applications. The device is an electronic flow resp. temperature switch for monitoring, control, and continuous measurement of flow and temperatures in liquids. A high variety of versions of process connections and electronic types allows the use for a wide range of applications, also for demanding measuring requirements.

The process connection of the FU4LK with metallic sealing has been specifically designed for hygienic, dead-space, and elastomer-free process adaption. Due to its high accuracy and the digital adjustability by RS485 Modbus®-RTU or IO-Link®, the device can be suited to a wide variety of applications.

The robust design and the high-quality workmanship turn the device into a very high-quality product, which even the most adverse environmental conditions cannot affect, whether the lowest temperatures when used outdoors, extreme shock and vibration stress or aggressive media.

A captive laser marking of the type label ensures identifiability throughout the entire lifetime of the device. Is the optional marking of a measurement point designation resp. TAG, a customer label or of a neutral type label, of course also per laser marking.

A LABS- resp. silicone-free version, a factory calibration with calibration certificate, and a customer-specific configuration resp. preset is also optionally available like a material test certificate EN10204 3.1 or a factory certification for drink water resp. food suitability. Customer-specific special versions can be realized short-term on request, e.g. special designs for the process connection or other process materials.
