Radar Tank Level Solutions Brochure

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the use of radar sensors for tank level measurement, highlighting their accuracy and reliability in monitoring both liquid and dry materials. These sensors provide real-time data that enhances material management and supply chain efficiency.
Liquid Level Measurement: Radar sensors, such as the T30R and K50R models, offer advantages over other technologies by measuring through tank walls without contact with the material. They are immune to environmental factors like dust and steam, making them suitable for harsh conditions. The T30R is ideal for tall tanks and caustic materials, while the K50R is a cost-effective option for short-range applications.
Dry Goods Level Measurement: Measuring dry, granular materials is more complex due to their uneven distribution. The Q90R sensor, with its wide beam angle, effectively detects these materials by capturing more reflected signals. It is suitable for tanks up to 20 meters tall and can handle various materials, including food processing items and plastic pellets.
Software and Configuration: Banner's software facilitates quick sensor configuration and real-time visualization of tank levels. The software supports advanced configuration and troubleshooting, enhancing equipment performance.
Sensor Models and Specifications: The document provides detailed specifications for various sensor models, including beam patterns, detection ranges, and communication outputs. Models like the Q90R and T30R series are highlighted for their robust performance in different applications.
Accessories and Integration: A range of accessories, such as mounting brackets and IO-Link masters, are available to support sensor installation and configuration. The document also describes how to integrate sensors with lighting systems for visual communication of tank levels.
Conclusion: Radar sensors from Banner Engineering offer reliable and cost-effective solutions for tank level measurement in diverse environments. Their ability to provide accurate, real-time data supports better decision-making in material management and supply chain operations.

Liquid Level Measurement Radar sensors offer a unique benefit over other sensing technologies: when mounted externally on certain plastic tanks, they can sense through the tank wall and measure the level, keeping the sensor separate from the material altogether. With its immunity to dust, dirt, and steam, radar technology also provides superior and consistent measurement in almost any environment. A T30R mounted on a tall tank can use its narrow beam width and long sensing range to measure chemicals or other caustic agents that could damage an internally-mounted sensor. Even if the tank wall...

Radar Tank Level Solutions Brochure-3

Dry Goods Level Measurement Levels of dry, granular materials, such as plastic pellets used in injection molding or feed used at a fish farm, are more challenging to detect than liquids. Unlike leveling out like liquids, they form a peak as they accumulate and drain in the reverse, causing the center to empty first and leaving the edges higher. These ever-changing angles can reflect energy away from the sensor’s receiver, leading to more complicated detection. The wide beam of the Q90R reliably detects and measures dry goods in a tank by receiving more reflected signals than a sensor with a narrow...
