VEGAPULS68 (PS68.) Order Codes

VEGAPULS 68

Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of bulk solids

Application area

VEGAPULS 68 is suitable for level measurement of bulk solids also under difficult process conditions. The mechanical construction as well as the electronics are optimised for this application. The application possibilities can be found in the food processing industry, the plastic processing and steel production as well as in the building industry.

Advantages

Non-contact measurement

Simple mounting

Wear and maintenance-free

Unaffected by pressure, temperature, gas and dust

High measuring accuracy

SIL qualified

Function

Extremely short microwave pulses are emitted via the antenna system to the measured product, reflected by the product surface and received again by the antenna system. The time from emission to reception of the signals is proportional to the level. A special evaluation procedure ensures a reliable and precise measurement.
