OPTISOUND – die innovative Ultraschall-Lösung für Flüssigkeiten und Feststoffe OPTISOUND – the innovative ultrasonic solution for liquds and solids

Ultrasonic level meters from KROHNE are used for continuous measurement of liquids and bulk goods in nearly all sectors of industry.With the OPTISOUND, KROHNE introduced a family of products at Interkama 2005, which impressively demonstrates its superiority, partic-ularly in open channels, in process tanks and in storage tanks suppliers, but also in basins, wastewater tanks and on suppliers of conveyor belts. Continuous ultrasonic level metering has proven itself in the field of "free level measure-ment."OPTISOUND is suitable for rainwater and wastewater, for low and high de-grees of contamination, for silting or for liquids with a percentage of solids: in this case, the OPTISOUND can make full use of the advantages of contact-free measurement. Bulk goods naturally pose different challenges to a meter than do liquids. The surface of the product is not smooth, but generally forms a cone of bulk goods. Many products cause a heavy dust build-up. In additon, most solid silos are taller than the tanks for liquids. In this case too, OPTISOUND is the best choice.By means of differently adjusted transmitting frequencies, the device can measure levels in a range from 0.25 to 45 m for liquids (from 0.25 to 25 m for solids). Another advantage: Depending on the design, highly resistant materials for acoustic signal transducers and process connections guarantee their use, even with caustic media. Ingenious details such as an optionally available mounting bracket for easy alignment of the sensor round out the extremely positive overall impression of this series of devices. »»»» » Industries Water and wastewaterChemicalMetalPower generation Paper and pulp
