Solids Level Sensor
The 80 GHz radar solids level sensor provides reliable level measurement of silo, bin, stockpile, crusher or transfer station applications with grain, pellet, powder or aggregate solids. What is a 80 GHz radar solids level sensor and how does it work? The non-contact solids level sensor emits an 80 GHz frequency modulated continuous wave RF signal from its antenna. The 80 GHz signal travels through the air gap, reflects against the solids dielectric media below and returns to the antenna. The 80 GHz radar solids level sensor determines the reflection signal time of flight and converts this into level height, distance or volume. 80 GHz radar solids level sensors are the most reliable non-contact level sensors as their robust measurement technology is unaffected by most changes in the application media, process or environment. EchoBeam 80 GHz radar solids level sensors are reliable, flexible, simple and maintenance free.
