VEGAPULS 64 Opens up New Applications in the Food Processing Sector

In 2016, VEGA launched VEGAPULS 64, the first radar sensor for liquids measuring at the high frequency of 80 GHz. The instrument has already proven itself to be the perfect sensor in multiple applications worldwide. It has various antenna systems that are ideal for use in small containers and that allow for easy installation on existing process connections. Effortless retrofitting plus a precisely-focused radar beam make VEGAPULS 64 an excellent fit for small process containers like those commonly found in the food industry.

In the food processing sector we are faced with very demanding hygienic requirements. VEGA offers sensors for reliable and precise level and pressure measurement in tanks, vessels, and pipelines. Their installation and setup is very easy and front-flush mounting ensures optimum cleanability, even under the highest hygienic requirements.

Our instruments are developed for the special requirements in the food processing industry and optimized for hygienic applications. Water tight housing designs, certified materials, proven process fittings, and shock-resistant and dry ceramic sensors ensure a long lifetime of service.

VEGA has all approvals necessary for the food sector, among these are the requirements according to FDA, EG1935/2004, EHEDG, 3-A, ASME BPE, USP and GMP. The sensors are also designed to be fully CIP and SIP-capable.
