Mounting examples
The following illustrations show mounting examples and measurement
setups.
Plastic granules

Plastic granules and powder are often stored in high, narrow silos which
are lled pneumatically. Typical conditions are lling noise, material cones
and poor reective properties.
The high sensitivity of the VEGAPULS 67 sensor guarantees ample
performance reserves for reliable level measurement even with widely
varying product surface geometries.
Fine lime

Due to the extreme dust generation during the lling of powders, a
non-contact measurement with ultrasonics is virtually impossible. The
VEGAPULS SR 68 is the ideal solution since microwaves are unaected
by dust generation and the lling stream.
The VEGAPULS SR 68 radar sensor is the ideal measuring instrument
for this application. With a swivelling holder it can be optimally aligned to
the product surface.
Clinker silo

Clinker is an additive for concrete and is stored in large silos or bunkers.
Its abrasive properties as well as extreme dust generation during lling
place heavy demands on the level measurement.
The VEGAPULS 68 sensor is the optimum solution for level measure-
ment. Its parabolic antenna powerfully focuses the microwaves, thus
generating a strong useful signal. Interference from struts or installations
is excluded.
