Application
The Micropilot FMR57 is designed for bulk solids measurement in challenging environments, making it ideal for tall silos, bunkers, and storage facilities. Its parabolic antenna provides a narrow beam angle, enabling precise measurements in narrow vessels. This non-contact radar level transmitter is used for continuous monitoring of powdered and granular materials. Measurement accuracy remains unaffected by dust, filling noise, temperature variations, or gas layers.
Horn or parabolic antenna. An optional air purge connection allows operation in highly dusty or sticky applications.
