VEGAMIP Level detection in bulk solids and liquids Measuring principle The measuring system consists of a microwave emitter and a respective receiver. The emitting signal is focussed by an antenna system and emitted against the receiver. A medium in the path of rays damps this signal. This signal damping is detected by the receiver and converted into a switching signal. The adaptation to the local conditions and the medium is easily possible by adjusting the sensitivity. Because microwaves can penetrate non-conductive products, a measurement through plastic vessels is possible. With metal vessels, mounting is carried out directly on the vessel or through suitable window materials such as for example plastic, glass or ceramic.

Applications Level in bulk solids The main application area of the microwave barrier is the level detection of bulk solids. The non-contact measuring principle is particularly suitable for harsh application conditions in mineral ore mining, coal or ore dressing. Due to the rugged sensor design and the use of suitable window materials, the use with very abrasive products or high temperature is possible. Different sensor and antenna versions enable a simple adaptation to various applications.

Level in liquids The microwave barrier is particularly suitable for measurement of liquids in plastic or glass vessels because no opening is required for mounting. The measurement can be carried out directly through the vessel wall. In metallic vessels, the sensor is mounted on a threaded socket.

Object monitoring Similar to a light barrier, the microwave barrier can be also used for object monitoring. Since microwaves are not influenced by ambient condition, this measuring system is ideal for harsh operating conditions and offers high reliability even in case of rain, snow or strong dust generation. Typical applications are loading of trucks in the quarry or collision protection of crane systems. Due to the high dynamic range of the receiver, an effective radius of 100 m can be reached.
