Application
The Soliwave FDR16 is an ultra-compact transmitter-receiver for non-contact level monitoring of bulk materials and liquids, as well as piece counting and object detection. Designed to work with the FQR16, this microwave barrier operates on a contactless detection principle and features a compact design for use in hard-to-reach locations. External mounting is possible for non-metallic containers.
The Soliwave FDR16 and FQR16 microwave barrier detects minimum and maximum levels of powdered, granular, and liquid materials – ideal for overflow protection or dry-run prevention. It also performs piece counting and object detection tasks. Suitable for diverse industries including power generation, food processing, and primary production.
