Radar Sensor VEGAPULS 67 – the Economic Solution for Bulk Solids Measurement
 Level measurement of bulk solids
The radar sensor VEGAPULS 67 is used everywhere where the levels of widely different bulk solids have to be continuously monitored in measuring ranges up to 15 m. The mechanical configuration of the instrument as well as its electronics are optimised for this application under normal process conditions. The radar instrument operates with high frequency sensors in the K band and stands out due to its excellent signal focusing. Silo fittings or buildup on the container wall thus have no influence on the high-precision measuring result. The instrument is equipped with a sensor especially adapted to the application according to the type of product and its repose behaviour. VEGAPULS 67 is, by the way, the "little brother" of VEGAPULS 68, the specialist for bulk solids measurement under extremely difficult process conditions.
Area of application
Application possibilities for VEGAPULS 67 can be found in almost any area that has to do with bulk solids. It is the economic solution for simple bulk solids applications in the food industry as well as in plastics processing, steelmaking or the construction industry.
Advantages
VEGAPULS 67 is completely independent of dust, temperature, pressure:
- Non-contact measurement
- Simple installation
- Wear and maintenance free
- High measuring precision
