Tough processing conditions are no match for the compact non-contact radar (CNCR). Small but mighty, CNCR-100 series sensors with a pigtail connection come in ranges of 26’ and 49’ to provide inventory control, automation abilities, and level measurements to a diverse scope of industries and applications.
Non-contact radar is the gold standard for small bins, tanks, and silos. Pair with ToughSonic® ultrasonic sensors for a comprehensive smart inventory management system.
Liquids or Solids: A leading choice for any industry that requires bulk material measurements
Small-Vessel Friendly: Perfect fit for tight spaces or hard-to-access hoppers, tanks, or bins
Real-Time Measurements: Integrate into BinCloud® software, walk-up displays, or PLCs
Variety of Mounting Options: Brackets, swivel mounts, and mounting plates to suit any bin, tank, or silo
The CNCR’s Advanced Features
80 GHz Technology: Narrow 8° beam is unaffected by dust, foam, or condensation
Incredible Accuracy: Precision within ±0.2 in. (5 mm)
Bluetooth Configurable: Convenient sensor setup using Bluetooth on a cell phone
Durable Design: PVDF housings are heat, chemical, abrasion, weather, and flame resistant
NO Deadband/Dead Zone: Measure material up to the radar face without sacrificing accuracy
Big Radar Benefits
Non-Contact: CNCRs do not contact the material being measured, making them an ideal choice for sanitary or hygienic applications
Impenetrable & Protected: Enclosures are IP66/68 rated against dust and water ingress
Installation Made Simple: Easily install through existing openings with universal 1.5” NPT connection
Safer Employees: Eliminate treacherous ladder climbing and liability, and lessen labor costs
Low Cost of Ownership: Radars require little to no maintenance after installation
View Inventory Remotely: With BinCloud® inventory management software, view data anytime, anywhere via phone, tablet, or PC
Common Applications for CNCR-100 Series Radars
Grain, Feed, and Pet Food: Monitor liquid, dry, or wet ingredients and raw grains, automate conveyors, and monitor render operations and production processes
Cement and Mining: Reliable performance in liquid or slurry tanks, noisy and high-temperature clinker silos, or dusty finished cement storage silos
Plastics: For liquids in plasticizer tanks, or for low-dielectric pellets, powders, or flaky bulk solid materials
Food Processing: Monitor raw and finished products in the beverage, dairy, egg, and liquid foods industries
Water & Wastewater: Utilize for level monitoring and process control at pumping stations, open channels, sludge receiving stations, and municipal water treatment tanks
Chemicals: Measure levels in industrial bulk containers (IBCs), chemical and conditioning tanks, and containers holding glues or adhesives
