Detect level of bulk solids without making direct contact

| By Chemical Engineering

VEGA Grieshaber

The microwave barrier Vegamip 61 (photo) is designed for the requirements of the bulk solids industry. The microwave barrier measures without making direct contact with the medium, which is particularly advantageous when dealing with abrasive materials or very high temperatures. The device measures from the outside through a microwave-permeable window made of ceramic or plastic. The barrier consists of a Vegamip T61 transmitter and one or several Vegamip R61 receivers. The receiver measures the attenuation of the microwave signal, and generates a switching signal from it. The device can be used as a maximum- or minimum-level sensor. — VEGA Grieshaber KG, Schiltach, Germany
