Application – VEGAFLEX 83 TDR Level Sensor In Pharmaceutical
In the pharmaceutical industry hygiene and cleanliness are essential for all applications. In this instance the application is level measurement in an acid tank. The level measurement would need to be unaffected by corrosive vapours, highly accurate and unaffected by build up.
Solution – VEGAFLEX 83 TDR Level Sensor
VEGAFLEX 83 TDR level sensor is the ideal solution as the rod probe comes in a coated or stainless steel polished hygienic version suitable for use with sensitive solids and liquids. Aggressive media is not a problem for the VEGAFLEX 83 TDR level sensor with a PFA and PTFE coated version.
Product density, temperature, foam or build up have no effect on the accuracy of the VEGAFLEX 83. VEGAFLEX 83 TDR level sensor is the hygienic option which allows a simple cleaning of the measuring probe and the measuring range doesn’t have any restrictions, making it perfect for use in very small containers.
VEGAFLEX 83 guided wave radar level measurement technology can also be used in the food and beverage industry, for example level measurement in a milk tank or ketchup mixer.

Application – VEGAPULS 68 Radar Level Sensor For Bulk Solids
In the chemical industry reliable measurement of silo contents is crucial as many raw materials in the form of bulk solids are used.
Many other elements need to be taken into consideration in order to gain an accurate reading for example how abrasive the material is, how the bulk densities differ, how much dust is generated and whether it complies with explosion protection regulations.

Solution – VEGAPULS 68 Radar Level Sensor
VEGAPULS 68 radar level sensor is the best option as it still reliably measures the content level in the silos regardless of noise, change in product properties and the amount of dust generated.
VEGAPULS 68 radar level sensor is suitable for use with abrasive materials such as fertilisers and offers a maintenance free solution. This radar level sensor can be used with a wide range of applications in bulk solids as it has a measuring range of 75 metres.

Application – VEGAPULS 67 Non Contact Radar Level Sensor
In the Pulp & Paper Industry the strength of the paper is determined by the important additive of starch. It’s applied as surface starch via a glue or film press and mixed into the pulp mass on the wet end of the paper machine. Tall narrow silos store the raw starch powder and the filling process often generates vast amounts of dust.
Other processes that occur are liquefaction, processing system in the starch silo and the starch cooker, which VEGA devices can also measure.

Solution – VEGAPULS 67 Non Contact Radar Level Sensor
VEGAPULS 67 non contact radar level sensor is the perfect solution to measure the starch powder level in this instance and it is unaffected by copious amounts of dust.
The filling process can be quite difficult to gain accurate non contact radar level measurement however the VEGAPULS 67 non contact radar level sensors increase signal sensitivity and have a narrow transmission beam which aids accuracy.

VEGAFLEX 83 TDR Level Sensor
In the food & beverage industry accurate measurement of ingredients is imperative to ensure the produce is made correctly and has the right consistency. In the ice cream making process the main ingredients are sugar, milk, fruit juices, fat and water.
Depending on the kind of ice cream, the ingredients are weighed out accordingly and then added to a stirring vessel to be mixed. Once the product is homogenized at a pressure of around +140 bar and pasteurized at +80°C. The mixture is held in storage for approx 6 hours after being cooled in one minute to 4°C.
Solution – VEGAFLEX 83 TDR Level Sensor
In vessels of up to 1.5m high, the VEGAFLEX 83 TDR level sensor is the correct solution. Guided wave radar level measurement is ideal as it is unaffected by pressure or temperature changes.
The VEGAFLEX 83 guided wave radar level sensor works reliably within the small vessel and is still effective even when the foamy ice cream changes consistency, making the level measurement process more difficult.

VEGAFLEX 81 TDR Level Sensor
In the petrochemical industry the pipeline is the main part of the refinery. Crude oil is transported either directly from the oil wells or from an oil terminal to the refinery via pipeline. This is the means of transport for all the various oil and distillation products.
The environment is protected as concrete impounding basins can be found where pig valves or slide valve stations are located stopping leakages of the shut off devices. Â Application measurement is required to prevent rain or ground water seeping into the impounding basin.

Solution – VEGAFLEX 81 TDR Level Sensor
VEGAFLEX 81 TDR level sensor detects rain or ground water penetrating into the impounding basin. VEGAFLEX 81 guided wave radar level sensor is able to detect how much oil and water, as well as the oil thickness. This information is processed and a decision is made about whether there is a potential danger to the environment.
