Press Release #2 SIEMENS Milltronics SITRANS LR 460 Radar Unit
The SITRANS LR 460 is a 4-wire 24 GHz FMCW radar level transmitter with extremely high signal-to-noise ratio and advanced signal processing for continuous monitoring of solids up to 100 m (328 ft). It is ideal for measurement in extreme dust.
SITRANS LR 460 provides excellent results even during conditions of extreme dust. The integral Easy Aimer included on the SITRANS LR 460 allows for easy positioning for optimum measurement on solids.
Process Intelligence onboard SITRANS LR 460 means advanced signal processing is harnessed for reliable operation on both simple and difficult solids application.
SITRANS LR 460 features a robust enclosure, flange and horn components. It is virtually unaffected by atmospheric or temperature conditions within the vessel.
An optional dust cap is available for sticky solids. Optional air purging is also available for extremely sticky applications.
Safe on-site local programming is simple using the Intrinsically Safe handheld programmer. SIMATIC PDM can be used for easy remote programming using HART or PROFIBUS PA.
The Ragmax valve was designed to withstand the most severe slurry in the mining industry.
With specific design to :
- Last longer than any competition, which includes Butterfly, Pinch, Diaphragm Valves and Knifegate Valves.
- Simplify maintenance work.
- Weight advantage Ragmax is only 10% of the weight of the competitors.
- Completely repairable
- Spares freely available
- Actuators much smaller and supply with ISO mounting as a standard
- Fail safe is possible
- Valve throughput (CV) higher than competitors
- Rigging costs much less due to weight advantage.
- Pipe stresses much less than with heavier valves.
The greatest advantage of all is to, for the first time in history, be able to have a stable control valve, that is able to control the plant at design conditions. The reason; the control curve of a Ragmax valve is between linear and =%. This helps tremendously towards control, as traditional valves opening curve is quick opening that puts very high demands on Actuators and Positioners.
Now the new generation Smart Positioners can be used with the design results.
