ROAD SALT INVENTORY SYSTEM

With the snowy and icy roads and traffic grounding to a halt, the UK needed a well organised system like they use in Germany. This “Intelligent Inventory” management of road salt and grit ensures sufficient provisions are distributed and replenished (well, we definitely could of done with sufficient provisions..!).

Find out more on how the combination of our VEGAPULS Solids Radar Level Transmitters and VEGA’s web-based system, WEB VV, helped to create this “Intelligent Inventory” System.

This Application Story can be found under the Case Studies page

VEGA has released a NEW Microwave Barrier Switch

The microwave barrier VEGA‘MIP’ (Microwave Impulse Point-level) is especially designed for the special needs of the bulk solids industry. As this is a non-contact measurement, VEGAMIP 61 has no direct contact with the medium. This provides reliability for abrasive, aggressive or high temperature applications. In such cases VEGAMIP can measure from the outside through a microwave permeable window, e.g. in ceramic, glass or plastic material. It can also be applied to liquid level detection or object detection, such as truck positioning and on conveyors etc. and operates consistently with dirt, dust or build up. Ranges are up to 100m.

VEGAMIP 61 is fully integrated into VEGA’s plics® modular system. There are a range of plastic, aluminium or stainless steel housings as well as different antenna systems and process fittings, thus allowing configuration of the sensor precisely to specific requirements.

Want more information on the NEW VEGAMIP then click on this link.
