VEGA – Radar Level Measurement Technology. The world’s first 80 GHz radar sensor for level measurement of liquids.

VEGA VEGAPULS 64 radar level measurement sensors are used in storage tanks, dosing and process vessels with different process conditions or hygienic requirements.

fEATURES & BENEFITS

for level measurement in dissolving tanks

Non-contact level measurement with radar using VEGA VEGAPULS 64 :

• Accurate measuring results independent of pressure, temperature, gas and steam
• Long service life thanks to highly resistant materials
• Reliable measuring results unaffected by foam and agitators
• Considerably easier setup and commissioning, even with complex vessel internals
• Increased measurement certainty over the entire measuring range through better focusing
• High accuracy, even when the sensor is mounted close to the tank wall

LIQUID MEASUREMENT IN DISSOLVING TANKS

The precursors for the manufacture of colour pigments are dissolved in the dissolving tank – the Naptha based precursors are mainly Naphtha based, and, depending on the formulation, water and sodium hydroxide solution are added as solvents for the production of the basic pigment solution. An agitator ensures uniform mixing of substances as they are added – the level measuring system is needed to ensure reliable values that are delivered to the control system.

VEGA VEGAPULS 64

VEGA VEGAPULS 64, the first radar level sensor on the market for liquids that measures at a frequency of 80 GHz. This feature allows considerably better focusing of the radar beam. With this new instrument, measuring is much easier and more reliable, even under difficult conditions, such as tanks fitted with heating coils, baffles or agitators.

• Measurement Application : Liquid Level Measurement
• Measurement Point : Tank
• Measurement Range : Up to 4 metres
• Measurement Medium : Sodium hydroxide, water, naphthols
• Process Temperature : +20 to +24° Celsius
• Process Pressure : 0 … 0 Bar
