Application areas
VEGAPULS67
The VEGAPULS 67 is a sensor for continuous level measurement of
bulk solids under simple process conditions. It is suitable for smaller
silos and vessels. The VEGAPULS 67 is an economical solution through
its versatile and simple mounting options. The encapsulated antenna
system ensures maintenance-free permanent operation even with strong
contamination.
VEGAPULSSR68
The VEGAPULS SR 68 is a sensor for continuous measurement of bulk
solids even under dicult process conditions. It is particularly suitable for
level measurement in high silos and large bunkers. The VEGAPULS SR
68 is an economical solution thanks to the simple setup and the reliable,
maintenance-free operation.
VEGAPULS68
The VEGAPULS 68 is a sensor for continuous measurement of bulk sol-
ids also under dicult process conditions and large measuring ranges.
The sensor is ideal for level measurement in high silos, large bunkers,
stone crushers and in the furnace. The VEGAPULS 68 with dierent
antenna versions and materials is the optimum solution for virtually all
applications and processes. Through the wide temperature and pressure
range, the sensor can be used universally and enables a simple plan-
ning.
VEGAPULS69
The VEGAPULS 69 is a sensor for continuous measurement of bulk
solids under dierent process conditions. The sensor is ideal for level
measurement in very high silos, large bunkers and segmented vessels.
The very good signal focussing ensures a simple setup and a reliable
measurement. The VEGAPULS 69 can be equipped with an encapsulat-
ed plastic antenna or a lens antenna integrated in the metal ange. This
allows optimumg adaptation to dierent application areas.
Applications
Measurementwithangemounting
For mounting VEGAPULS 67 on a socket, an appropriate compression
ange for DN 80 (ASME 3" or JIS 80) as well as a suitable adapter ange
are available.

Measurement setups with mounting strap
The mounting strap enables simple mounting on the vessel wall or silo
top. It is suitable for wall, ceiling or boom mounting. Especially in open
vessels this is a very easy and eective way to align the sensor to the
bulk solid surface.

Measurement with swivelling holder
If mounting in the centre of the silo is not possible, the sensor can be
directed to the vessel center by using the optional swivelling holder. The
following illustration shows a simple way to determine the required angle
of inclination.
