VEGAFLEX 82

TDR sensor for continuous level measurement of bulk solids

Universal TDR sensor for light bulk solids

Application area

Cable or rod sensor. Even in applications with large amounts of dust, condensation or buildup, the sensor delivers precise and reliable readings.
The VEGAFLEX 82 level sensor measures maintenance-free light and heavy-weight bulk solids. Even in applications with strong dust generation, condensation or buildup, the sensor delivers precise and reliable measured values. The VEGAFLEX 82 is an economical and reliable solution for your application.

Your benefit

  • The guided adjustment enables a simple, time-saving and reliable setup
  • Shortenable probes offer a simple standardisation and highest flexibility in the planning
  • Virtually all bulk solids can be measured with the automatic probe end tracking
