Advantages of drop antennas over horn or parabolic antennas

Minimise operating expense and costs
  • PP or PTFE Drop antenna: shape prevents product build-up in dusty applications
  • No purging device required (which also means no need for additional piping system featuring a valve and control system)
  • Maintenance-free and no outlay for purging air
  • Simple installation and start-up
Small and large at the same time
  • Radar beam angle is considerably more focused with drop antennas than it is with horn antennas: ideal for narrow silos and large measuring ranges
  • Drop antennas are considerably smaller than horn or parabolic antennas and thus easier to install
