 VEGAPULS 67: The newcomer in the VEGA radar team
Radar reliability at entry level price
Before there was VEGAPULS 67, ultrasonics was implemented in many cases just for price reasons. If contactless level measurement was required, the system deficiencies of ultrasonics had to be accepted perforce. VEGAPULS 67 puts an end to these compromises and provides radar technology at ultrasonic prices.
Where ultrasonic measurement fails
Like all radar technologies, VEGAPULS 67 operates contactlessly and is therefore suitable for abrasive and corrosive products. Unaffected by air turbulence and noise, it delivers reliable measurement values even during pneumatic filling. Pressure and extreme dustgeneration also have no effect. VEGAPULS 67 is thus suitable for practically all areas of production.
Measuring range up to 15 m
Pressure up to 2 bar
Temperatures up to 80 °C
Optimised radar signal processing for bulk solids
Because the typical uneven surfaces of bulk materials in silos generate different echo signals than liquid surfaces, the evaluation algorithms of VEGAPULS have been adapted to different reflection characteristics. Through the implementation of practice-oriented application parameters, the user has only to make a few basic adjustments to adapt the sensor to a particular application.
