Krohne Optiwave 6500 Radar Level Transmitter
Manufacturer: Krohne Inc
Mfg Product Code:
The OPTIWAVE 6500 is a 2-wire 80 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for demanding applications with powders in very dusty atmospheres. With its small beam angle, this radar is particularly suited for continuous, non-contact level measurement in high and narrow silos, hoppers or buffer storage containers up to 100 m / 328 ft. Due to specific algorithms and the high signal dynamics of the FMCW radar, the level transmitter is ideal for low-reflective media, dust, uneven surfaces or silos with internal obstructions. As it features flush-mounted PEEK and PTFE Lens antennas, there is no intrusion into the tank.
80GHz Radar (FMCW) Level Transmitter for powders and dusty atmosphere
- Flush-mounted PEEK Lens antenna hence no intrusion into tank
- Extremely high dynamics for reliable measurement despite dusty conditions
- Easy installation due to small beam angles
