Innovation Award for TDR Sensor VEGAFLEX 82

The four professional journals Process, Process Worldwide, PharmaTec and Schüttgut (Bulk Solids Handling) handed out the Innovation Awards for 2013 during the POWTECH trade fair. They were looking for the most innovative equipment and methods in mechanical process technology in six different categories. The criteria for the award were the degree of innovation, the quality and profitability for users, the existing applications as well as the presentation of the product.
The specialist jury awarded the winners at the official awards ceremony on the first evening of the fair.

VEGA Grieshaber applied for the Innovation Award in the category `Process Measurement and Control Technology / Automation” with the new VEGAFLEX 82 guided radar sensor and won.
The decisive factor for the jury`s decision was the instrument’s ease of use in combination with many new features: First, the automatic probe end tracking function that switches on automatically, for example, if the product signal becomes too unreliable. The instrument then outputs the probe end signal, which is stable and exactly proportional to the product level. Second, the automatic false signal suppression, which dynamically adapts the signal processing to changing process conditions, e.g. the formation of heavy buildup on the probe. And last but not least, the improvements to existing features: e.g. the new quick start function and the memory that stores up to 100,000 readings, 500 events and 10 echo curves indelibly with real-time stamp.

The TDR sensor VEGAFLEX 82 is specifically tailored to the needs of the bulk solids industry. Applications range from large-volume bins to 75-metre-high silos, and from light, fine powders to heavy, coarse gravel. New intelligent algorithms, such as probe end tracking and automatic false signal suppression increase measurement certainty in these applications. In addition to reliable measured values, the most important demand made of the new TDR sensors is simple setup and commissioning.
