VEGAFLEX 82 Guided Wave Radar Level Sensor Used In The Quarrying and Aggregates Industry

VEGAFLEX 82 Guided Wave Radar Level Measurement

In the quarrying and aggregates industry in order for building materials to be processed, they are transported in silos to the construction site. Automatic reliable level measurement is required to make sure there is always enough material in the silos.

Solution – VEGAFLEX 82 Guided Wave Radar Level Sensor

VEGAFLEX 82 guided wave radar level sensor is the ideal solution as the guided wave radar level measurement reliably measures the level in the transport silo regardless of medium’s composition.

Guided wave radar level sensors are instantly ready for use after the silo is set up as the bottom of the container has a heavy duty cable secured to it. It can incorporate a GSM module to remotely send the data on the contents to a central transport department to optimise supply and delivery.
