Product Description

The VEGA VEGAPULS 68 Radar Level Sensor is a high-performance non-contact radar instrument designed for continuous level measurement of bulk solids under extreme industrial conditions.

It is specifically engineered for demanding applications such as tall silos, cement plants, coal handling systems, crushers, and high-temperature furnaces. Using advanced radar technology, it provides stable and accurate level readings even in environments with heavy dust, high pressure, or extreme temperatures.

With a measuring range up to 75 meters and resistance to process temperatures up to 450°C, VEGAPULS 68 ensures reliable operation where conventional level sensors fail. Its maintenance-free design significantly reduces downtime and improves plant efficiency in heavy industrial processes.
