Continuous Bulk-Solid Inventory in Tall Silos Silo Radar Level Transmitter is designed for cement, grain, plastic pellet, mineral and other bulk-solid silos. Dust, steep repose angles, internal beams and the filling stream create multiple echoes, while buildup can coat the antenna. High-frequency radar provides non-contact continuous level for inventory, refill planning and high-level protection across tall vessels. Aim Through Dust, Filling Streams and Uneven Surfaces The 80 GHz FMCW radar sends a narrow microwave beam toward the product surface and determines level from the returned signal. High frequency and tight beam geometry help isolate the target in tall vessels, narrow nozzles and tanks with internal structures. Gallop lists liquid, solid and slurry measurement, small blind zones, high-temperature and corrosion-resistant versions, and long-range configurations up to 120 m within the radar level portfolio. Non-contact operation reduces wear and process exposure. A narrow 80 GHz beam helps target a clear path between internals and the filling stream, with long-range versions available in the Gallop portfolio. This page can naturally support buyer terms such as 80 GHz radar level transmitter, FMCW level sensor, narrow beam radar, non-contact tank gauging and continuous level measurement. Protect the Antenna From Buildup Provide silo dimensions, material dielectric, particle size, dust level, fill and discharge points, nozzle and maximum range; use an appropriate aiming or purging arrangement when needed. Configure empty and full reference points, damping and false-echo suppression, then compare radar volume with the site strapping table or mass estimate. Even 80 GHz radar needs a suitable mounting position and echo setup. Very low dielectric media, heavy antenna buildup, poorly designed nozzles or false echoes from internals should be evaluated before final model selection. Gallop has focused on flow and level instrumentation since 2005 and presents in-house R&D, ISO 9001:2015 and CE evidence. Ask for the exact datasheet, certificate and calibration record that apply to the quoted model.
