Radar level-detection probe is undaunted by uneven surfaces
The Optiwave 6300 C radar instrument provides accurate measurement of solids level in silos, hoppers, bulk storage containers, and on conveyor belts, and is said to be especially well-suited for measuring the uneven surface of silo contents. The patent-pending drop form of the plastic antenna generates a smaller beam angle (2 deg) compared to conventional antennas, eliminating the need for an antenna-aiming kit to amplify the reflected signal. The drop form also helps to minimize crusting or dust buildup on the antenna, making it ideal for applications involving materials with high dust potential, such as mineral powders, granulates and wood chips. Users can choose from a 3-in.-dia. antenna made from polypropylene or polytetrafluoroethylene, or a 6-in.-dia. (DN150) antenna made from polypropylene. Conventional stainless steel horn antennas up to 6 in. (DN150) are also available. An installation wizard and comprehensive help capabilities, available in nine languages, ease setup and startup. — Khrone, Inc., Peabody, Mass.
