VEGA bulk solids level measurement

Monday, 06 March, 2006 | Supplied by: http://www.vega.com


Compromises in applications for continuous level measurement of bulk solids, such as dust, filling noise, mechanical loads and difficult installation conditions, hamper measuring or even make it impossible.

Vega has introduced the Vegapuls 68 radar sensors designed for the demands of bulk solids level measurement. The sensors for bulk solids have a sensitivity a thousand times higher than that of radar sensors for liquids and are thus suitable for the widely varying reflection characteristics of solid surface geometries.

The swivelling antenna systems can be precisely oriented towards the product surface. Due to the compact sensor dimensions, retrofitting existing equipment is trouble free and can be done at minimal cost and effort.

High reliability is ensured even under extreme dust generation during pneumatic filling of powdery substances. The radar signals are totally unaffected by temperature and pressure fluctuations as well as strong airflow or extreme filling noise.
