New solutions for radar level measurement
This company has extended its non-contact radar series NivoRadar for continuous level measurement. The NivoRadar NR 4 (photo, right) is equipped with 80-GHz FMCW technology and a very narrow beam angle. This high-frequency signal is emitted in a sawtooth wave format, reflected by the medium and received again by the sensor. The frequency difference, which is directly proportional to the distance, is then further processed and the output produced as a level signal. Thanks to the high degree of protection, the NivoRadar NR 4 is particularly suitable for bulk goods applications. Installation is possible in storage, process and intermediate bulk container (IBC) tanks, as well as freestanding heaps of material. It measures the lightest and heaviest bulk materials in all industries, such as powder, building materials, chemicals, wood or food. Reliable measurement results are achieved even with a steep angled cone. Optimized sensor material and a robust design ensure durability even under harsh environmental conditions. As a counterpart to the bulk goods radar, the NivoRadar NR 7 (photo, left) has been designed for processes in the liquid sector and, due to its design, is particularly suitable for acids and alkalis.
