Bindicator MP Series is a microwave, pulse radar that is used to determine the level of bulk solids in silos or tanks. Used in some of the tallest silos, the MP70 model has a measuring distance of up to 230 ft. (70
m). Transmitting at a frequency of 26 GHz with a narrow beam angle of 8 degrees, the MP Series radar is consistent and accurate in dusty environments. It is able to ignore loose particles in the air and focus on actual material levels.
The MP Series Radar is a non-contact device that uses “time of flight” to determine level in a vessel. The time it takes for an emitted microwave pulse to travel from the device to the material surface and back again is measured. This time is calculated into distance which is then translated into a level measurement.
