Level Switches, VEGAPOINT 24

Published on : Monday 02-08-2021

VEGAPOINT 24 level switches master sticky and viscous substances.

Many food and pharmaceutical products have a distinctive texture: "melt-in-your-mouth" like some processed cheeses, grainy like peeling cream or also tough, sticky, crunchy and soft.  Depending on the consistency, the demands on the level measurement technology used in production increase.

VEGA has developed the new front-flush level switch VEGAPOINT 24 especially for use with very sticky, viscous or abrasive products. Its focus is on the greatest possible robustness. Even with the strongest buildup, it reliably detects the level of coverage and indicates it with a coloured illuminated ring that is visible from afar.

Thanks to its robustness, VEGAPOINT 24 is a real plug-&-play sensor. It can be installed very easily in just a few simple steps. Flexible production systems with frequent and fast product changes benefit from the fact that it detects all media with the help of the default setting without adjustment. And extended functions, such as interface detection or foam blanking, can be configured particularly easily.

With this device, VEGA is specifically targeting the beverage, food and pharmaceutical sectors. Here, mixing and conveying are all about efficiency and safety, even with demanding liquids and bulk solids like molasses or nut-nougat cream. Especially the front-flush design of VEGAPOINT 24 ensures universal application possibilities. Even cleaning pigs work safely alongside the flat measuring tip, and the measuring tip also copes with sandblasting. This is because there is only metal in the tank.

Users achieve optimum visibility of their processes with the new VEGAPOINT 24. The relationship between durability and low life cycle costs is groundbreaking. The decisive factor, however, is flexibility of use: With its versatile process fittings and adaptors, the level switch fits like a glove – even in already existing systems.
