Applications of VegaPuls Radar System for Bulk Solids
Level measurement of bulk solids in compact silos with VEGAPULS 67
Process conditions
Silos up to 20 m high, temperatures between 0 and +40° C
Medium
Flour, yeast, salt
Solution
The VEGAPULS 67 is the right solution in the two to three metre high containers filled with baking ingredients, since it measures the level with great certainty irrespective of the dust and changing ingredients. The simple installation and commissioning of the instrument saves time and money.
Advantages of VEGAPULS 67
- Immune to dust and noise
- Simple adjustment
- Independent of product properties
Continuous level monitoring in the rock crusher with VEGAPULS 67
Process conditions
Jaw and roller crusher, noise, dust
Medium
Rock
Solution
Mounted over the crusher, the radar sensor VEGAPULS 67 keeps an eye on everything. Completely unaffected by wind, weather, abrasion and especially the huge amounts of airborne dust, it continuously watches over the material level in the crusher. Also the extremely high noise level, which can knock an ultrasonic sensor out of sync, doesn’t bother the non-contact sensor. This allows uninterrupted measurement in order to keep the level in the ideal range. Minimized wear and optimal production throughput are the result.
Advantages of VEGAPULS 67
- Non-contact measurement
- Simple setup and commissioning
- Two-wire sensor
- Immune to dust, noise and process conditions
Silo monitoring outdoors with VEGAPULS 68
Process conditions
Metal silos up to 70 m high, temperatures between -20 and +40° C
Medium
Bulk solids such as sugar, grain, wood chips, cement, plastic granulate
Solution
A VEGAPULS 68 is employed for continuous level measurement in the high outdoor containers. The non-contact measurement technique is unaffected by dust and noise even during the filling process.
Advantages of VEGAPULS 68
- Non-contact measurement
- Unaffected by dust generation and noise
- Measuring range up to 70 m
- Maintenance-free
- Two-wire technology reduces wiring costs
Monitoring the optimal filling in the lime kiln with VEGAPULS 68
Process conditions
Vertical shaft lime kiln, temperatures up to +250° C
Medium
Lime flour
Solution
The robust radar sensor VEGAPULS 68 delivers reliable measuring results even under the extreme conditions in the lime kiln. Although temperatures during the charging process can reach up to
+250° C, no additional cooling of VEGAPULS 68 is required. The sensor measures the surface of the limestone reliably and provides important data for effective operation of the kiln. The non-contact measurement is maintenance-free and does not require any additional servicing.
Advantages of VEGAPULS 68
- Non-contact measurement
- Robust sensor construction
- Temperature range up to +250° C
- Maintenance-free
