Hot on the heels of hygiene with radar

In industries where hygiene is of paramount importance such as life science sectors, accurate and reliable level measurement can often be a problem due to changing density or conductivity of the product. Here, guided radar is ideal for the application conditions but often fails in terms of hygiene requirements.

The new Endress + Hauser Levelflex M FMP43 has been specially designed to combat both these factors. Levelflex M FMP43 offers accurate and reliable measurement independent of process conditions such as density, conductivity, temperature changes (CIP/SIP), product foaming and even use of spray balls.

However, it also performs on the hygiene front with its easy-to-clean electropolished surfaces to Ra=0.38um in compliance with ASME BPE. With its stainless steel probe and elastomer seals, there’s no probe discolouration, diffusion or undetected gaps. And, with easily exchangeable probes, process connections and O-rings, it offers true flexibility for engineering and operation in terms of maintenance and stock holding.

The Levelflex M FMP43 is a guided radar device for life science applications. With its 1-in (DN25) process connections and optional remote housing, the FMP43 can be installed in applications where space is at a premium. Designed for simplicity, the transmitter housing is detachable from the probe so that it can be calibrated inline using the dedicated Calibration-Kit – simply connect and calibrate within minutes! The probe itself can be sealed with a protective cover for autoclave sterilisation.
