VEGAPULS 68 - Solids level measurement for high silos
Radar sensor for continuous level measurement of bulk solids
In extreme temperatures and pressures
Application area
The extended selection of process fittings and materials allows use in extreme temperature and pressure ranges.
The VEGAPULS 68 is a radar sensor for continuous measurement of bulk solids also under difficult process conditions and with large measuring ranges. The sensor is ideal for level measurement in high silos, large bunkers, stone crushers and in the furnace. The VEGAPULS 68 with different antenna versions and materials is the optimum solution for virtually all applications and processes. Through the wide temperature and pressure range, the sensor can be used universally and enables a simple planning.
Your benefit
- High plant availability, because wear and maintenance-free
- Maintenance-free operation through non-contact measuring principle
- Reliable measurement independent of vapour, dust and noise
