KROHNE has released the OPTIWAVE 1530 and OPTIWAVE 1560 radar FMCW level transmitters for solids and liquid applications.
This technology provides an ideal solution across industries such as water and wastewater, delivering accurate, non-contact measurement of solids and liquids.
The OPTIWAVE 1530 provides a cost-effective solution with a measuring range of 0–15 m (49.2 ft), making it well-suited for small to medium silos, stockpiles, bunkers, and tanks.
The OPTIWAVE 1560 extends this capability to 30 m (98.4 ft) for long-range measurement in tall silos, large tanks, and deep vessels. Both models deliver drift-free, maintenance-free operation without the need for recalibration over the lifetime of the product, significantly reducing total cost of ownership.
Built for durability, both models feature a compact, robust design with fully potted electronics to protect internal components from dust, condensation, vibration, and shocks. The flush-mounted, concave PVDF lens antenna offers excellent chemical resistance and a self-draining design to prevent buildup, maintain a stable radar signal, and ensure consistent performance, even with condensation present.
