New Micropilot Radar Level Sensor:<br />
Designed for Special Demands<br />
The new Micropilot FMR63B 80 GHz radar level sensor satisfies the strictest hygiene requirements of the<br />
pharmaceutical and <strong>food</strong> industries while also meeting your demands for efficiency, precision, compliance,<br />
simplicity, and safety.<br />
The new generation of Micropilot 80 GHz radar sensors meets the requirements of many process industries<br />
for greater simplicity, product safety and efficiency in relation to plant processes. For users of level<br />
measurement technology in the life sciences or <strong>food</strong> industry, other factors include uncompromising levels of<br />
hygiene, turbulent surfaces, foam formation or narrow tanks. With the Micropilot FMR63B, Endress+Hauser<br />
pledges to meet your unique requirements. A hygienic stainless-steel housing, improved measuring speed,<br />
Heartbeat <strong>Technology</strong> with Radar Accuracy Index (RAI), Ethernet-APL, an antenna with a narrow beam<br />
angle, optimized algorithms and operating assistants are features that make the Micropilot the ideal<br />
measuring device for a wide range of hygienically challenging applications.<br />
Optimal measurement performance<br />
and predictive maintenance without<br />
process interruptions are key<br />
benefits of the new Micropilot<br />
FMR63B (tracking link: https://<br />
eh.digital/3DsDglS) that can increase<br />
profits and reduce costs. They include<br />
early detection of anomalies with realtime<br />
data via Heartbeat <strong>Technology</strong><br />
with foam and buildup detection, as<br />
well as a high level of process safety<br />
and extended calibration cycles<br />
thanks to Endress+Hauser’s patented<br />
Heartbeat <strong>Technology</strong> Radar Accuracy<br />
Index (RAI). These features increase<br />
productivity and efficiency.<br />
Customers with sensitive plants and<br />
processes in the life sciences, <strong>food</strong> or<br />
beverage industries, for example, can<br />
now also enjoy these benefits thanks<br />
to the new hygienic design of the<br />
Micropilot FMR63B, which is approved<br />
for even the most rigorous compliance<br />
requirements, such as EHEDG, 3-A<br />
or ASME BPE (in the latest available<br />
version from 2022). Measurement is<br />
contactless, i.e. there is no contact<br />
with the medium. In addition, since<br />
the sensor comprises one single piece,<br />
the need for additional seals, which<br />
could become damaged or fall into the<br />
medium, is eliminated.<br />
The latest member of the large 80 GHz<br />
radar range from Endress+Hauser<br />
is therefore suited to a wide range<br />
of applications, from bioreactors to<br />
mixing tanks to storage or fermentation<br />
tanks. The Micropilot FMR63B also<br />
proves reliable in hygienic solids<br />
applications, such as milk powder.<br />
Compatibility with external cleaning<br />
systems, such as H2O2, means that<br />
it can be easily installed even in<br />
cleanrooms and similar environments,<br />
such as ultrapure water tanks for<br />
injection solution, where strict levels of<br />
hygiene apply. The automatic creation<br />
of checksum parameters (CRC) also<br />
assists with compliance. Unintentional<br />
changes to configuration parameters<br />
are detected immediately, inspections<br />
Increased productivity thanks to process monitoring, verification and diagnostics in the running<br />
process with Heartbeat <strong>Technology</strong>.<br />
