VEGA VEGAPULS68 Radar Level Meter VEGAPULS 68

Description:
The VEGA VEGAPULS 68 is a radar level sensor designed for the continuous level measurement of bulk solids in challenging process environments. Utilizing 26 GHz radar technology, it provides accurate and reliable measurements even in dusty, high-temperature, and high-pressure conditions, making it ideal for industries such as cement, mining, power generation, and food processing.

This non-contact radar sensor is optimized for use in large storage silos, bins, and hoppers, offering a long measuring range and excellent performance in extreme conditions. The VEGAPULS 68 is a versatile solution for level measurement in bulk solids applications, ensuring precise readings even in the presence of dust or heavy material filling.
