VEGA’s cutting-edge sensors ensure reliable level and pressure measurement, streamlining food production with unmatched hygiene, precision, and efficiency.
The variety of foods and beverages available to consumers today has expanded more than ever before. Reliable quality and impeccable hygiene are non-negotiable, and with VEGA instrumentation, food producers can ensure these standards while streamlining their processes.
Food production is a highly sensitive industry, with corresponding complexities and costs in its processes. The stringent demands of this sector are matched by the challenges encountered in measurement technology. VEGA sensors for level and pressure are certified according to the latest standards for the food and pharmaceutical industries, meeting FDA, ISPE GAMP, ASME-BPE, EHEDG, and 3-A Sanitary regulations.
VEGA’s equipment is crafted from corrosion-resistant materials that facilitate efficient cleaning, ensuring the thorough removal of microorganisms. The “hygienic by design” philosophy is evident in the sensor surfaces that contact products, which feature special roughness values of less than 0.8 µm and are even available in an electropolished finish. In many cases, seals have been eliminated for added safety. Moreover, VEGA measuring instruments are specifically designed to address the critical elements of CIP (Clean-In-Place) processes.
One connection – many possibilities
VEGA sensors can be quickly integrated into existing production facilities. The standardised fittings make this possible. The available hygienic adapters provide even more flexibility for the user and simplify processes at the same time. They are also diffusion-tight and extremely robust. The adapter system provides the right solution for every mounting situation.
Solutions for any challenge
VEGA offers a suitable sensor for every application, ensuring precise and reliable measurement across various processes.
For level measurement, the VEGAPULS 42 is ideal for applications with fast level changes. It integrates seamlessly into process data systems using IO-Link and operates maintenance-free with advanced 80-GHz radar technology. Its illuminated ring enhances readability, even from a distance, making it user-friendly in diverse industrial environments. Meanwhile, the VEGAPULS 6X delivers exceptional accuracy and strong focusing, ensuring reliable measurements even in challenging conditions. Internals such as agitators do not affect its performance, and it excels in detecting media with poor reflective properties, such as oily products.
For limit-level measurement, the VEGASWING 61 is a versatile choice for all liquid applications. Its reliable detection capability and long service life make it particularly suitable for overflow and dry-run protection in storage tanks containing cleaning agents. The VEGAPOINT sensor offers additional convenience with an optional universal hygienic adapter that simplifies installation and reduces spare parts inventory. Its illuminated ring ensures clear readability, even from a distance, making it a practical solution for process monitoring.
Pressure measurement is essential in many applications, and the VEGABAR 28 provides reliable monitoring of gases, vapours, and liquids at temperatures up to 130°C. Equipped with the innovative CERTEC® ceramic measuring cell, it ensures durability and precision. Like the VEGAPOINT, it features an optional universal fitting for hygienic adapters, streamlining installation and reducing inventory needs.
VEGA also offers digital solutions to simplify monitoring and operation. Not every measuring point is easily accessible, so VEGA sensors with Bluetooth connectivity allow users to manage them remotely via a smartphone or tablet. The VEGA Tools app enables quick and easy commissioning, configuration, and monitoring, making process control more efficient than ever.
VEGA offers a wide array of sensors designed for level, limit level, and pressure measurement, ensuring accurate and dependable monitoring across a variety of applications. Featuring cutting-edge innovations such as Bluetooth connectivity for remote operation, maintenance-free radar technology, and versatile hygienic fittings, VEGA sensors make installation straightforward, boost efficiency, and enhance process control. Whether you’re dealing with rapid level fluctuations, implementing overflow protection, or achieving high precision in pressure monitoring, VEGA delivers durable solutions precisely tailored to meet the demands of the industry.
