Radar sensor for hygienic applications – precise, reliable and user-friendly

 

The LXRH free-space level sensor enables continuous level measurement of liquids and bulk materials in hygiene applications. The sensor performs non-contact measurement. Thanks to the hygienic design, the adapters, and a special sealing concept, the sensor meets the stringent requirements of the FDA and EHEDG. High precision and a scanning range of 15 m with no dead zone make the sensor ideal for storage tanks, process vessels as well as mixing, filling and dosing systems in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The non-contact measurement principle also simplifies installation. No calibration is required. Parameterization is possible via IO-Link and via WPAN and app even using mobile devices. The 360-degree status LED and color coding make it possible to read the operational status of the sensor even at a large distance.

Advantages

Monitor fill levels precisely and easily

The LXRH radar sensor measures the fill level using non-contact 80 GHz radar technology. This enables measurement without a dead zone directly at the sensor. With a precision of +-2 mm across the entire measuring range of up to 15 m, the LXRH delivers accurate data. The focused signal ensures reliability. The measurement quality is not affected by difficult installation conditions or harsh process conditions such as condensation and deposit-forming media (e.g. quark).

Quickly installed, the LXRH radar sensor ensures trouble-free, continuous level measurement in hygienic applications – regardless of the medium to be measured.

 

Ideal for hygiene applications

Food processing and pharmaceutical applications require consistently reliable and particularly precise fill level data. The non-contact measurement principle of the LXRH radar sensor prevents clogging of the sensor by aggressive media, and the formation of deposits that would affect the measurement accuracy. Thanks to various hygiene adapters and a specially developed sealing concept, the device also meets particularly strict requirements for a hygienic and sterile environment.

The LXRH level sensor enables consistently reliable and accurate detection of fill levels in the food industry and in pharmaceutical applications.
