Radar Measures Solids Levels

Dec. 1, 2010
The Optiwave 6300 C Radar instrument measures the level of powder, granulates and bulk solids in buffer silos, hoppers, bulk storage containers and on conveyor belts. 
The patent-pending drop form of plastic antenna generates a smaller beam angle (2º) than conventional antennas, eliminating the need for an antenna-aiming kit to amplify the reflected signal. Users can choose a 3-in. diameter (DN 80) antenna made of Polypropylene (PP) or Teflon (PTFE), or a 6-in. (DN150) PP. Conventional stainless steel horn antennas up to 6 inches (DN 150) with a built-in horn purging feature are also available.Krohnewww.KROHNE.com/northamerica800.FLOWING
