The solution

Due to the measurement situation and the characteristics of the material, a VEGAPULS 67 radar sensor was deployed. The instrument measures contactlessly and can be aligned perfectly to the funnel with the help of its swivel mounting bracket. Thanks to its high dynamics, it can automatically adapt to changes in the reflective properties of the reject material. With its completely encapsulated antenna system, it is designed for maintenance-free, continuous operation. The sensor delivers a reliable, continuous output signal that shuts down the conveyor belt when the hopper is 80% full. Backup, equipment damage and losses caused by outages of the power plant are now a thing of the past.
