 VEGA radar technology – now also for bulk solids
Worldwide success with radar
VEGA Grieshaber is a world-leading company of level, switching and pressure instrumentation. In 1997 VEGA introduced the world’s first two-wire radar sensor. Two years later, VEGA advanced to international market leader in the area of radar level measurement. Radar has become widely accepted as the reliable standard technology for measurement of liquids – and with the radar instruments of Era II, VEGA has set a new standard for radar in continuous level measurement of bulk solids.
How it all began: the eric® radar story
The most successful radar level measuring instrument in the world is called eric®. In 1997 this instrument revolutionised the market and within a very short time became international market leader in the area of level measurement with radar technology. As the first 2-wire radar instrument, eric® combined easy handling with high process reliability. Since 2003 eric® has been available in the compact housing of the plics® modular system. Today, eric® represents Era II of reliable bulk solids measurement.
One technology, two instruments, all bulk solids
Optimum technology for level measurement of bulk solids
The technology: advanced VEGA radar with optimised signal processing. The two instruments: the universal VEGAPULS 67 and the extremely robust VEGAPULS 68. All bulk solids: where until now compromise solutionswere necessary due to extreme dust generation, unfavourable material surface geometry, filling noise and difficult installation conditions, VEGAPULS 67 and VEGAPULS 68 are the ideal solution.
A complete range of radar products
From the most demanding application conditions to areas where radar was simply too expensive until now: VEGAPULS solves any problem. Thanks to its high reliability, VEGAPULS 68 gives a convincing performance under extreme conditions and is thus the radar specialist for the toughest of applications. VEGAPULS 67 was developed for measurement problems that up to now were solved mainly with ultrasound technology. Here, VEGAPULS offers superior measurement reliability at very low instrument cost.
Radar – ideal for all bulk solids
VEGAPULS compared with other measuring principles
 |
VEGAPULS 67 and VEGAPULS 68: for all bulk solid applications
Non-contact measurement, therefore wear and maintenance-free
Unaffected by dust generation
No signal loss during pneumatic filling
Not influenced by filling noise
Reliable measurement due to wide dynamic range
Dust Ex approval
Gas Ex approval |
Extended application range through radar
Through VEGA radar technology, bulk solids level measurement is largely unaffected by process conditions and is therefore superior to capacitive measurement as well as ultrasonic measurement and measurement with guided microwaves.
