BinMaster introduces compact radar sensors for sanitary processing

23 March 2026

BinMaster’s newest compact non-contact radar level sensors provide smart inventory control in a small stainless-steel housing, designed for food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

At just 6 inches in length and 1.5 inches in diameter, CNCR-400 sensors are ideal for small processing vessels including bins, tanks, hoppers and mixers with agitators. 80 GHz radar technology provides accuracy within 5 mm — even in turbulence, condensation and buildup — ensuring precision and performance throughout sanitary processes.

The CNCR-400 radar series are offered in three different models. Each hygienic sensor measures bulk solids and liquids within ranges up to 49 feet (15 m):

· Digital display (DD): Features a digital readout on the sensor face, plus a light ring with programmable colors for visual alerts

· Light ring indicator (LRI): Includes a light ring with ability to program colors to alert to critical high or low inventory conditions

· Stainless-steel only (SS): Ideal for vessels where local alerts or visual cues are not a requirement; a cost-effective option for continuous process monitoring

Compatibility with BinCloud inventory management software differentiates the CNCR-400 radars from other brands of compact radar sensors. Users can view bulk material levels in real-time, from anywhere, on a phone, tablet or PC. From one site to multi-national operations, operators can view inventory for every bin and plant location from one login and easy-to-use interface.

CNCR-400 sensors include 4-20 mA, NPN/PNP and IO-Link outputs. Setup and configuration are simple using a Bluetooth application on a cell phone. Radars are rated IP66/67/69 for long-term durability, offer .75-inch and 1-inch NPT connection options.

The compact level sensors include standard c-UL-US ordinary location approvals, plus FDA, 3A and EHEDG worldwide hygienic approvals.
