Technical details and application highlights

Review the complete description, feature set, and specification details before sending your inquiry.

The LW2720 radar level sensor is engineered for accurate and reliable liquid level monitoring in hygienic industrial environments. Built with advanced 80 GHz radar technology, it ensures millimetre-level precision in tanks up to 10 meters high. This sensor is ideal for industries where cleanliness, accuracy, and process stability are critical, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing.

Key Features

The LW2720 offers a non-contact measurement principle, eliminating issues caused by deposits, buildup, or mechanical wear. Its high-frequency radar ensures stable readings even in challenging conditions such as steam, condensation, or turbulent surfaces. The sensor is fully compatible with hygienic processes, including CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilization-in-Place), ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Application

This sensor is widely used in hygienic tanks for monitoring liquid levels in industries like dairy, beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals. It helps maintain process consistency, prevents overflow or dry running, and supports automation systems requiring accurate level data.

Design & Functionality

The LW2720 is designed for easy installation and maintenance-free operation. Its contactless radar technology ensures no interference from agitators or sticky media. The compact and robust design supports long-term industrial use without performance degradation.

Total Crossed Beams

The radar technology enables precise signal focusing, ensuring accurate level detection without blind spots. This improves measurement reliability even in complex tank geometries.

Beam Pitch Options

Optimized beam angles allow the sensor to operate efficiently in narrow or tall tanks. This flexibility ensures consistent readings regardless of tank design or internal structures.

Intrinsic Synchronism

The sensor maintains stable signal processing, minimizing fluctuations caused by environmental changes such as vapor, pressure, or temperature variations.

Operational Advantages

With IO-Link connectivity, the LW2720 allows remote parameter setting, monitoring, and diagnostics. This enhances operational efficiency and reduces downtime. The maintenance-free design eliminates the need for frequent servicing, lowering total ownership costs. Its hygienic certification ensures compliance with strict industry standards, making it a dependable solution for critical applications.
