Krohne a global technology leader in the development, manufacture and distribution of accurate, reliable and cost effective measuring instruments for the process industries, offers its unique Optiwave 6300 C Radar instrument for accurate measurement of solids level. Based on over twenty years of experience in manufacturing FMCW radar level transmitters Krohne offers the ideal solution for solid measurement specifically designed for measuring the uneven surface of silo contents.

The Optiwave 6300 C measures powder, granulates and bulk solids in buffer silos, hoppers, bulk storage containers and on conveyor belts. Its versatile design makes the Optiwave 6300 C suitable for a variety of industries, such as mineral and mining, food, chemicals, pulp and paper, and power. The innovative drop form (patent pending) of KROHNE’s plastic antenna generates a smaller beam angle (2º) than conventional antennas.  This makes an antenna aiming kit to amplify the reflected signal unnecessary. The unique drop form also prevents crusting or dust layers on the antenna making it ideal for applications with dust formation, such as mineral powder and granulates or wood chips.

The Optiwave 6300 C comes with a variety of options and users can choose a 3 inch diameter (DN 80) antenna made of Polypropylene or Teflon  or a 6 inch (DN150) PP. Conventional stainless steel horn antennas up to 6 inch (DN 150) with built-in horn purging feature are also available. The installation wizard for the Optiwave 6300 C is specifically adapted for bulk solid measurement. Start-up is easy due to the Quick Set-up wizard and a comprehensive help function. A large screen with a four-button keypad makes navigation easy, and the wizard displays information in nine languages, including Chinese, Japanese and Russian. ATEX, FM, and CSA certifications are pending.
