By combining high signal dynamics and FMCW radar technology, this market-entry radar device accurately and reliably measures the level of solids such as stone, plastic granulates or coffee beans. No need for expensive antenna aiming kits or purging systems: the proven Drop antenna design minimises scaling and is unaffected by the angle of repose.
- Built-in configurations for different surface profiles
- Proven PP or PTFE Drop antenna:
- Small beam angle (4° with DN150; 6” PTFE Drop)
- Unaffected by angle of repose – no need for antenna aiming kits
- Insensitive to product build-up
- New DN100; 4” Drop antenna measures up to 80 m; 262.5 ft
- Measuring distances up to 100 m; 328 ft
- Purging system for Metallic Horn antenna
- Antenna extensions to suit any nozzle length
- Converter compatible with all OPTIWAVE 6300 process connections
- Extensive choice of process connections: thread ≥1” and flange ≥DN80; 3”
- ±2 mm; ±0.08” accuracy
- Process conditions up to +130 °C; +266 °F, 16 barg; 232 psig
