This Radar Sensor Wears a Plastic Antenna

| By Chemical Engineering

A new antenna system of plastic makes it possible to offer the Vegapuls 67 radar sensor at a considerably lower price, says the manufacturer. The sensor is suitable for application areas where, for economical reasons, ultrasonic instruments or capacitance probes were used previously. The sensor is ideal for applications in medium-sized silos up to 15 m high, and covers the majority of standard applications in industries that process bulk solids — from food to plastics warehousing to building materials production and processing. — Hall 5, Booth 270 — VEGA Grieshaber KG, Schiltach, Germany
