VEGA Control’s Vegapuls 64 product launch took place on 15 July in the ballroom at Montecasino. The gala event was attended by approximately 400 guests, which included customers and their partners and members of the media. The evening’s programme started with the product presentation, followed by entertainment, dancing and a dinner catering for all tastes.
Group director John Groom used the comparison of a Black Forest cake recipe to explain the features of the new Vegapuls 64 sensor to the audience. Together with business development manager Frikkie Streicher, he presented the capabilities of VEGA’s first radar level sensor for liquids that operates at a transmission frequency of 80 GHz. This included a demonstration of the radar beam’s excellent focusing capabilities.

Their presentation showed that with an 80 mm antenna, the Vegapuls 64 emits a radar beam angle of only 3°. This means the sensor can deliver reliable measurements even in vessels with internal installations such as heating coils and agitators. The demonstration included that of the dielectric constant in relation to the volume of oil in a recipe. The dynamic range of the instrument, with increased sensitivity from 96 dB to 120 dB, was also shown.
At the end of the evening guests were left in no doubt that the Vegapuls 64 has the capabilities to revolutionise the market for liquid level measurement across industries.
