Hawk Measurement receives award for GWR level transmitter

Hawk Measurement (HAWK) has announced that it has received Chemical Processing’s Vaaler Award for its CGR guided wave radar level transmitter.

More than 50 years ago, Chemical Processing inaugurated the Vaaler Awards to honour products and services that have dramatically improved the operations and economics of plants in the chemical industry. The Vaaler Award takes place every two years and voting is carried out by an independent and impartial panel of judges from leading chemical companies in the industry. These judges evaluate each entry for the significance of its contribution to chemical plant operations; its novelty or uniqueness; and its breadth of application.

HAWK received the award for its Centurion Guided Radar (CGR) level transmitter, said to be the industry’s first only GWR level transmitter that features Power over Ethernet (PoE) communications. The advantages to PoE connectivity are secure in-plant and remote monitoring, as well as remote sensor setup, diagnostics and troubleshooting abilities. The CGR level transmitter is designed for the measurement of liquids, sludge, powders and granules to a range of 38 m for level and interface measurement.

“I am extremely proud of the HAWK team for all of their hard work to develop quality technology and bring the most innovative products to market,” said Jack Evans, Global President of Hawk Measurement. “We are extremely honoured to win this calibre of award and it drives us to continue to produce best-in-class products and services for our customers.”

Established in 1988, HAWK has previously won awards for its technologies, including acoustic wave, ultrasonic, microwave, radar, and fibre-optic sensing.
