Product Description

The VEGA VEGAVIB 61 Vibrating Level Switch is a compact and highly reliable point level detection device designed for granular and coarse bulk solids.

It operates using a vibrating rod principle that detects whether material is present or absent at the switching point. This makes it ideal for full/empty detection, overfill protection, and dry-run prevention in industrial storage systems.

The smooth vibrating rod design prevents material build-up and ensures stable switching even in dusty or abrasive environments. VEGAVIB 61 is widely used in silos, hoppers, and process vessels where reliable industrial solid level switching is required.
