HK2-M

The HK2-M is the ideal solution for precise concentration and water content measurements in demanding industrial environments. Thanks to state-of-the-art microwave technology, it delivers reliable results even under harsh conditions and is specially designed for applications in the sugar, building materials and waste water industries.

Features at a glance

  • Latest microwave technology: Fast and stable measurements.

  • Robust design: Optional protective housing for extreme environments.

  • High reliability: No wear and tear and insensitive to vibrations.

  • Maintenance-free: Optionally with automatic sensor cleaning.

  • Flexible control: via PC or separate remote control (with up to 8 m connection cable).

Product description

The HK2-M uses low-power electromagnetic microwaves that are coupled into the measuring medium via an antenna. The received wave provides precise data on the water content or dry matter of the product.

Advantages of microwave measurement technology

  • Transmission measurement: Penetrates inhomogeneous products and delivers reliable results.
  • Fast response behavior: Ideal for dynamic processes.
