VEGAMIP R61

Product catalog summary
Overview of VEGAMIP:
The VEGAMIP series features microwave barriers for non-contact point level detection in both liquids and bulk solids. These devices are effective through container walls and suitable for dusty environments or as backup detection on conveyor belts.
Measuring Principle:
The microwave barrier operates like a light barrier. When the microwave beam is blocked by the medium, the signal is dampened, triggering a switching signal.
Advantages:
This method provides point level detection without direct contact, avoiding issues with dirt, buildup, and abrasion, ensuring maintenance-free operation.
Product Variants:
  • VEGAMIP T61: A microwave emitter for level detection in bulk solids and liquids, suitable for silos, bunkers, and crushers, reliable even with abrasive products.
  • VEGAMIP R61: A microwave receiver for similar applications as the T61, ensuring reliable and maintenance-free operation.
  • VEGAMIP R62: A separate receiver version, ideal for difficult installation positions.

VEGAMIP R61-1

Overview VEGAMIP Area of application The microwave barriers of the VEGAMIP series are suitable for non-contact point level detection of liquids and bulk solids of any kind. Even point level detection of high-purity liquids through the container wall is possible. When it comes to bulk solids, the microwave barrier lends itself well for heavy and dust-generating media or for backup detection on conveyor belts. Measuring principle The microwave barrier works like a light barrier: if the microwave beam between transmitter and receiver is blocked by the rising medium, the measuring signal is damped. This change is detected by the receiver and converted into a switching signal. Advantages This method allows point level detection without direct contact with the measured product. Dirt, buildup and abrasion on the sensor are thus excluded, allowing wear and maintenance-free operation.
