The Soliwave FQR16 is an ultra-compact transceiver for non-contact point level detection of bulk solids and liquids, as well as piece goods counting and object detection. The Soliwave FQR16 is used together with the FDR16. The microwave barrier works with a non-contact detection method and can also be used in applications with difficult-to-access or confined installation conditions due to its ultra-compact design. For non-metallic container materials, measurement from the outside is possible.
The microwave barrier Soliwave FDR16 and FQR16 detects minimum or maximum point levels of powdery to lumpy bulk solids and liquids, for example to protect against overflow and dry running. The device is also suitable for piece goods counting and object detection. The device can be used in multiple industries like primaries, energy and food.
Benefits
Non-contact measuring principle - detection almost independent of process properties
High security - permanent self-diagnosis and full self-test
First microwave barrier with IP69 protection classification
Kemira, a global chemicals company, needs accurate monitoring of level and temperature for polymer manufacturing. They use instrumentation with Bluetooth for safe and easy access to process data.
Messer produces hydrogen in a steam reformer. The facility has a large number of protection and safety devices where pressure values play an important role.
Microwave barrier Non-contact point level detection (min/max, e.g. full and empty detection for overflow and dry run protection) for all types of bulk solids (from powdery to lumpy) and liquids, also in potentially explosive atmospheres (dust Ex). Detection, counting, and positioning of objects Object detection on conveyor belts
