Introduction toVEGAPULS 69

At a presentation at the Roodepoort Country Club on 16 January 2015, customers were introduced to the VEGAPULS 69 by Clemens Hengstler, product manager (radar), from VEGA Grieshaber KG, Germany. Clemens demonstrated the lat- est innovations of the new technology. After listening to customers’ needs the Shiltach-based company has researched and developed the VEGAPULS 69, a sen- sor that takes a big step closer to the ideal of an all-round radar level measuring instrument for bulk solids. (See ‘latest in radar sensors for bulk solids’ on page 41). Enquiries: Chantal Groom on 011 795 3249 or email chantal.groom@vega.com
