Radar sensor VEGAPULS SR 68 – Level measurement for Bulk Solids Silos up to 30 m high
VEGAPULS SR 68 is a radar sensor for continuous measurement of bulk solids even under difficult process conditions. It is optimized for a measuring range up to 30 m and offers the user all the advantages of radar technology at an interesting price.
Totally independent of dust, noise or strong air currents during filling, the sensor detects the level reliably and contributes substantially to efficient plant operation.
Area of application
Because it detects even the smallest radar signal reflections from the surface of bulk solids, the sensor is employed in a broad spectrum of applications. From plastic granules to grain to coal – with VEGAPULS SR 68, reliable level measurement of any medium is guaranteed. An additional plus: the measured medium can be changed without having to perform a fresh sensor adjustment.
Advantages
VEGAPULS SR 68 is completely independent of dust generation, temperature, pressure, vibration or filling noise:
- Non-contact measurement
- High plant availability, sensor is wear and maintenance-free
- Reliable measurement independent of process conditions
