Vega
Limit switch masters sticky and viscous substances
Vega has developed the flush-mounted Vegapoint 24 point level switch especially for use with highly sticky, viscous or abrasive media. Even with the strongest build-up, it reliably detects the coverage status and indicates it with a colored illuminated ring.
Many food and pharmaceutical products have a distinctive texture. Depending on the consistency, the demands on the level measurement technology used in production increase. The Vegapoint 24 is a genuine plug & play sensor. It can be installed in just a few simple steps. Flexible production systems with frequent and fast product changes benefit from the fact that it detects all media using the factory setting without adjustment. Advanced functions such as interface detection or foam suppression can also be easily configured.
With this sensor,Vega is specifically targeting the beverage, food and pharmaceutical sectors. The flush-mounted design of the sensor in particular ensures universal application possibilities. With its wide range of process connections and adapters, the point level switch can also be easily integrated into existing systems.
