The extension of the non-contact radar series NivoRadar® for continuous level measurement 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.
The NivoRadar® NR 4 is particularly suitable for bulk goods applications. Installation is possible in storage, process and IBC tanks as well as freestanding heaps of material. It measures 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. With its 1″ process connection made of high-quality PVDF synthetics, the NR 4 is extremely compact and offers the right solution for:
• Dusty process environments
• Condensation and intense caking
• Narrow, medium-sized silo containers up to 30 m
• Versatile flange mounting
The NivoRadar® NR 7 has been designed for processes in the liquid sector and, due to its design, is particularly suitable for acids and alkalis. It is also possible for measurement to be taken through the tank lid of plastic containers. Thanks to its compact design with 1 ½” connection thread and intrinsically safe electronics, the sensor can be used for a wide range of applications. In this way, precise measurement results are achieved even in small containers. Resistant and robust synthetic materials guarantee long-term use, even in aggressive media. The NR 7 radar sensor also has flush antenna and potted electronics. The right measurement solution for:
• Highly viscous liquids
• Strong caking
• Steam, outgassing and condensate
• Process and storage tanks up to 15 meters
• Moving surfaces
• Aggressive media
• Potentially explosive areas
