What Mutec does
Mütec Instruments GmbH is a privately held German industrial measurement and automation technology company founded in 1970, headquartered in Seevetal-Ramelsloh near Hamburg. It designs, produces, and distributes two product families: (i) functional-safety signal converters and interface devices (SIL2/IEC 61508-certified transmitters, thermocouple transmitters, power supplies, switching amplifiers, and humidity transmitters) built around its proprietary DuoTec failsafe self-monitoring architecture with ATEX/IECEx variants for hazardous areas; and (ii) measurement systems for bulk solids, including capacitive moisture sensors (HUMY 301/3000), microwave Doppler mass-flow meters (MF 3000/3001), microwave level barriers (LevelCheck 510M), electrostatic flow monitors (DYNAguard), triboelectric dust monitors (FlowSwitch FS series), and — via the March 2025 acquisition of DYNA Instruments — DYNA-branded mass-flow, particle-size, velocity, and dust sensors. Underlying technologies span microwave Doppler, capacitive field-line probing up to 200mm, impedance humidity sensing, and electrostatic charge detection, with the MTP 300i marketed as the world's fastest SIL2 thermocouple transmitter (4ms response).

The product range spans SIL2-certified signal converters (voltage, thermocouple, and transmitter power supplies), moisture sensors, microwave-based mass flow meters, level detectors, dust monitors, and cell voltage monitoring systems for electrolyzers and fuel cells, complemented by custom OEM manufacturing, functional safety development, and bulk material system services.
Product overview
Mütec Instruments GmbH offers industrial measurement and automation technology products since 1970, organized into two main categories: Signal Converters (interface devices for measurement technology) and Measurement Systems for bulk solids. Signal Converters include SIL2-certified voltage monitoring transmitters (HVT series), thermocouple transmitters (MTP series), power supplies (MSK series), switching amplifiers (INK series), relay boards (MTS 200), and humidity transmitters (HITY series). Measurement Systems encompass moisture sensors (HUMY 301, HUMY 3000), mass flow meters (MF 3001, DYNAmflow), flow monitors (FlowSwitch 510M/600E, DYNAguard), dust monitors (FS 710E/750E/780E), level sensors (LevelCheck 510M), and cell voltage monitoring systems (HydraSafe). The company also acquired DYNA Instruments in March 2025, adding DYNAmas, DYNAchute, and DYNArad to its portfolio. Services include custom development/design, OEM products, and bulk material system services.
