Simple and efficient level measurements in silos
Radar measurement solutions for solid applications
The new Micropilot family has been specially designed for customers who need dependable level measurement in their basic solid applications, regardless of external factors and material properties. A highly accurate level measurement is guaranteed by 80 GHz radar technology in combination with a variety of accessories and certifications. Vastly variable surface conditions caused by fast-moving bulk solids are no challenge for these new devices.
Your advantages
Reliable measurement performance up to 30 m regardless of medium, grain size, surface or dc value – thanks to the highly developed radar chip and 80mm antenna.
Heartbeat Technology enables diagnostics and verification during operation without device removal. Certified, verifiable and documented in accordance with ISO 9001.
Guided setup sequences (called “wizards”) considerably simplify commissioning, proof tests and verifications.
Intuitive remote operation via app and on-device with the color touch display ensuring safe use and control.
Gas and dust explosion protection certification for Micropilot FMR20B and FMR30B.
Your challenge
The level measurement in silos must overcome a number of challenges: Large variations in the granularity of materials, uneven surfaces and highly fluctuating fill levels. In addition, a strong variety in dc values of the media influences the reflection of the radar signal and thus the measurement result. The challenging materials also pose a risk of explosion and of dust formation. The heights in silos and the associated long measurement distances pose an additional challenge.
Our solution
The simpler, the better: Micropilot FMR10B, FMR20B and FMR03B. The new radar sensors feature 80GHz radar technology, highly accurate and independent from media compositions. They offer a range of individual options such as explosion protection certification for gas and dust and the 80mm antenna, providing a smaller beam angle and stronger signal, thus enabling a measuring distance of up to 30m. The remote access via Bluetooth makes operation simple and safe, from any point of access.
