Microwave barrier
- Ultra-compact, meets the requirements of EU 1935/2004

The cost-efficient and ultra-compact FQR16/FDR16 microwave barrier is used for the non-contact and wear-free point level detection of all types of bulk solids, as well as for counting and checking piece goods. It can be installed on containers, conduits, shafts or on free fall shafts. Thanks to its ultra-compact design, the microwave barrier can also be used in applications with difficult-to-access or confined installation conditions. It is possible to take a measurement through non-metallic container materials from the outside. By metallic containers it is recommended to use microwave-permeable windows made of glass, ceramic or PTFE.

The function of the microwave barrier is largely independent of the process conditions, such as the temperature and pressure in containers, aggressive or abrasive media, dust, mist, smoke and sediment deposits.

The materials of the FQR16 / FDR16 microwave barrier that come into contact with the process meet the requirements of EU Regulation 1935/2004 and are therefore suitable for contact with foodstuffs.
