Field of application
The Soliwave microwave barrier uses a non-contact procedure for detection of point levels and bulk flow (flow / no flow, trend). The device is also suitable for detecting and counting objects, detection of deposits as well as monitoring of filling processes and material transfer points. It can be installed in containers, conduits, hoppers, filling stations, shafts, filters or on free fall shafts. It is possible to take a measurement through non-metallic container materials from the outside.
Non-contact (wear- and maintenance-free) limit detection (min/max) and flow monitoring (flow/no flow, trend) for bulk solids.
Detecting, counting and positioning of objects
Detection and analysis of deposits and contamination in filters
Monitoring of filling processes
Monitoring of material transfer points
For high temperature applications up to 450°C (+842°F)
For high pressure applications up to 20bar (+290psi)
International explosion protection certificates
Benefits
Simple assembly with R 1½, 1½ NPT thread or G 1½ (with lock nut)
Mechanically robust construction ensures cost savings over the whole life cycle of the product: No wear and tear, process-wetted ceramic sensor diaphragm (optional), long serviceable life, maintenance free
Mechanically compatible to FQR50/FDR50 and FQR56/FDR56 microwave barrier, existing process connections can be used; likewise, accessories such as adapter flanges, installation brackets and sight glasses can be used again
Increased safety of the point level monitoring by optional integrated bulk flow monitoring
Measuring principle almost independent of the process properties
Can also be used in difficult applications, where other measurement methods fail
Easy operation via the Nivotester FTR525 with graphical display saves time and reduces costs
