Features

Horn antenna, mainly used in the measurement of liquid and slurry, is widely used, with high cost performance and strong signal, and is suitable for most liquid working conditions.

The double amplifier electronic module is used to measure the solid or dielectric medium with low dielectric constant number. It has the characteristics of large range, strong signal and resistance to dry interference (dust).

Features

 

  • Non-contact Measurement

Adopting non-contact radar measuring principle, the sensor never touches process media. It effectively prevents medium contamination, material corrosion and mechanical abrasion, requiring minimal maintenance for long-term operation.

  • High Measurement Accuracy & Stability

Delivers continuous, reliable level readings with millimeter-level precision. It performs steadily even under harsh on-site conditions including liquid turbulence, foam, vapor and heavy dust.

  • 26GHz Narrow Beam Design

The 26 GHz radar frequency generates a highly concentrated narrow beam. It greatly suppresses false echoes reflected from tank walls, baffles and agitators, ensuring accurate detection inside complex and enclosed vessels.

  • Wide Application Coverage

Versatile for measuring liquids, slurries, powders and bulk solid materials. Widely deployed across chemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, oil & gas, and water treatment industries, matching both liquid and solid measurement requirements of our two models.

  • Flexible System Compatibility

IO-Link enabled for seamless connection with mainstream industrial devices and automation systems. It simplifies on-site configuration, data transmission and system integration work.

Product Applications

 

  • Chemical Industry

This 26 GHz radar level sensor is widely deployed across chemical production facilities for hazardous process monitoring. XYRD9002-NCR is ideal for highly corrosive liquids, chemical solvents and viscous slurries stored in pressurized tanks, mixing vessels and batch reactors. It withstands high temperature, vapor and condensation, while the narrow beam effectively eliminates false echoes from internal baffles and agitators. With 304/316 + PTFE wetted parts and full explosion-proof design, it ensures safe, continuous level tracking for process control and plant safety.

  • Oil and Gas

In oil & gas sites, the sensors perform reliably in harsh outdoor and process environments. For crude oil, refined fuels and oil-water mixtures in large storage tanks, separators and process reactors, XYRD9002-NCR delivers stable readings against volatile vapor and corrosive media. XYRD9003-NCR with 0 ... 70 m long measuring range is dedicated to solid lumps, mineral particles and bulk materials in silos. The explosion-proof structure complies with site safety regulations, adapting to extreme temperature and dusty working conditions throughout oil extraction, refining and storage.

  • Food and Beverage

Hygiene and reliable measurement are critical for food & beverage production. The non-contact design avoids direct contact with raw materials, eliminating cross-contamination risks. It is applied to mixing tanks, fermentation vessels, syrup storage tanks and edible oil containers for liquid ingredients. Meanwhile, XYRD9003-NCR monitors grain, milk powder, sugar and other bulk powders in silos and hoppers. The sensor maintains high accuracy even with surface foam and splashing liquid, fully meeting daily production and hygiene requirements.

  • Wastewater Treatment

For municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, the sensors monitor liquid levels in regulating tanks, aeration basins and clarification tanks, and track sludge volume in sludge storage tanks. XYRD9002-NCR resists corrosive sewage, water vapor and splashes, while XYRD9003-NCR measures settled sludge and granular sediments. IP67 protection and excellent anti-interference capability guarantee long-term stable operation in humid, dusty environments, providing accurate data to support full-process wastewater management.

  • Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical manufacturing demands ultra-high accuracy and zero contamination. The non-contact radar technology perfectly fits sterile production lines, used for level monitoring of pharmaceutical liquids, buffer solutions and raw liquid in reactors and sterile storage tanks. It also tracks medicinal powder and granular materials in raw material silos. Millimeter-level precision ensures strict formula control, and the explosion-proof model is suitable for workshops with organic solvents. No mechanical wear or medium contact keeps production clean and compliant.
