Radar level sensor
18 May 2014
The ‘coagulation tank’ at Aston Martin, where entrained solid materials are removed from waste water uses a contactless VEGAPULS WL61 radar level sensor from VEGA to control the optimum level and stop any overflow.

Designed for water and waste water applications, the unit features an IP68 housing with an encapsulated antenna, ideal for the harsh operating environment in an effluent plant. This being the first occurrence in a Manufacturing scenario, the sensor is ideally suited as the liquid density and substances contained within the liquid have no bearing on measurement accuracy.
Importantly, the device can cope with all reasonable levels of foam due to the excellent signal sensitivity and the 80mm antenna, which focuses signal for optimal performance.
