Accurate Level Measurement And Detection In The Reaction Vessel

Level Measurement And Detection

In The Pharmaceutical Industry

The most important element in the production of pharmaceutical products is the reactor. Heat is added and the basic products are mixed with solvents to create a reaction. The process has continuous changes in the consistency of the medium, temperature and pressure.

A turbulent surface and thick foam is created as agitators in the vessel mix products together. The level in the reaction vessel must be continuously monitored to ensure the process is reliable and accurate.

Level Measurement With VEGADIF 65

Completely unaffected by internal installations, such as agitators or heating coils, VEGADIF 65 measures the level in the reaction vessel via the differential pressure. It detects the exact level even if there is intense foam generation. The built-on chemical seals allow the sensor to be used in process temperatures up to +400 °C.

Level Detection With VEGASWING 63

The vibrating level switch VEGASWING 63 is well-suited to protect the reactor from overfilling or the connected pumps from running dry. It detects the limit level of different, even highly viscous media in temperatures up to +250 °C and pressures up to +64 bar. Its enamelled version provides maximum chemical resistance.
