Radar measurement Time-of-Flight Micropilot FMR57
Field of Application
The Micropilot FMR57 is designed for the most demanding bulk solid applications, making it ideal for high silos, bunkers, and stockpiles. Its parabolic antenna ensures a very small emitting angle, allowing accurate measurement even in slim silos. This free space radar sensor provides continuous, non-contact level measurement, unaffected by dust, filling noise, temperature layers, or gas layers.
The additional air purge connection ensures reliable operation even in strongly dusting environments or in media prone to buildup formation.
