Flow, level & control MEET THE PULSAR MODEL R80 A


METEK Level Measurement Solutions (LMS) has expanded its Magnetrol branded Pulsar Model R80 by introducing a newly developed solids- measurement antenna. This update enables the existing 80 GHz FMCW radar platform to perform reliably in demanding bulk solids applications. The new Pulsar Model R80 solids antenna delivers improved measurement capability through its high- frequency signal, narrow beam angle, and advanced configuration software. It measures low-dielectric materials and maintains stable performance in environments with dust, vapor, or uneven surface profiles created during filling or emptying. “Customers working with those often difficult solids applications require a stable, accurate measurement technology,” says Bob Botwinski, senior global product manager, GWR/Radar. “The Pulsar Model R80 transmitter is designed to make commissioning straightforward while providing consistent performance across a wide range of industrial environments.”


The Pulsar Model R80 is the first radar transmitter for bulk solids developed by AMETEK Level Measurement Solutions and provides customers with a new option for industrial solids-level measurement.
