Non-contact radar sensor from Vega
4 Mar 2015

VEGA, a bulk solids radar level measurement firm, is introducing the latest product in its range: VEGAPULS 69 - a non-contact sensor that offers the full spectrum of performance in bulk solids level.
This device offers high frequency optimum signal focusing - in narrow containers and silos with internal obstructions, it reduces interfering false signals.
Specifications include; a 75mm/3” antenna size, a measuring range of up to 120 meters/365ft and an accuracy of ±5 mm, it also so sensitive that even the smallest of level signals can be detected.
Poorly reflective products in very dusty applications with uneven surface profiles - like fine ash, cement, flour, coal, plastic powders and wood chips - can be confidently measured using this contactless technology, with no loss of signal and minimal false echoes.
There is sufficient performance capability for the most diverse tasks; from level gauging down mine shafts, to measurement in small hoppers or bulk containers, it even has fast enough reactions for level/position control on conveyor tripper cars.
This innovative bulk solids level sensor offers maintenance-free operation, even in the most difficult of environments.
It takes radar technology very close to being a universal solids level sensor.
