Siemens is the worldwide market leader when it comes to innovative products, technologies and solutions and has once again set new standards with its Radar SITRANS LR560. The unit was specially designed for the continous and contact free level control of bulk solids material in silos. The SITRANS LR560 2-wire, 78 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter with its small beam angle of 4° and its very short wavelength allows optimum reflection of the bulk solids material even when confronted with a large material mound and can be used for continuous monitoring of solids in silos up to 100 m. The SITRANS LR560’s plug and play performance is ideal for most solids applications, including those with extreme dust and high temperatures to +200 ºC. The unique design allows safe and simple programming using the graphic display with control keys on the unit or via a infrared handheld programmer or alternatively via Hard-, Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus communication.

Key Applications: cement powder, plastic powder/pellets, grain, coal, wood powder, fly ash.
