Microwave Pulse Switch for solids and liquids

Hawk Measurement Systems has developed the Microwave Pulse Switch, a sender-receiver remote or integral system that enables point level switching for presence or absence of most solid and liquid materials. It is compliant with OSHA and FCC regulations and an environmentally and personally safe alternative to nucleonic switches.

The Microwave Pulse Switch is suitable for applications in which microwave energy is absorbed by the monitored material, including the replacement of traditional contact switching devices used in mining, sand and gravel quarries, cement plants, pulp paper, plastic, rubber, coal-fired power plants, steel mills, aluminium smelters, food, pharmaceuticals and other manufacturing fields.

It is used for a variety of applications, such as flow/no flow, plugged chute detection, low and high level measurement, product-on-conveyor detection, rail/truck load-out position detection, anti-collision crane detection, blocked feeder pipes, water bottom detection and replacement of tilt switches.
