OPTIFLEX 6200

The OPTIFLEX 6200 is a 2-wire guided radar level transmitter based on the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology. It is designed for the level measurement of solids in bulk storage and other silos up to a height of 40 m / 131.2 ft. The single rod or single cable probes withstand high traction loads, making the level transmitter suitable for use in a wide range of applications with solids of different grain sizes – from fly ash and cement to gypsum and plastic granulates to tobacco and starch. This guided radar is equally suitable for applications involving milk, chocolate or coffee powder.

The OPTIFLEX 6200 is insensitive to dusty atmospheres or deposits on the probe. For applications that are difficult to access, a transmitter version with remote converter can be installed 100 m / 328 ft away from the probe. The converter comes with aluminium or stainless steel housing and is compatible with previous KROHNE TDR generations.
