VEGA VEGAMIP R61 Receiving unit - Relay - Manual (Page 14)

The VEGAMIP 61 requires a minimum product strength to detect
different products.
Dependent on the medium there will be a respective product
thickness.
The properties of the medium are also dependent on the granulation
size, the bulk density and the moisture content.
Some exemplary reference values for the min. strength of the medium:
Product type Medium Min. product
strength
Plastic granules PTFE, PS > 1000 mm
PP, PE, HDPE, POM > 500 mm
PA, PVC, PVDF > 250 mm
Foodstuffs and wood Flour > 100 mm
Cereals, corn, rice > 100 mm
Wood chips (dry) > 500 mm
Wood chips (moist) > 100 mm
Mineral products / Ore Stones (e.g. limestone) > 100 mm
Cement, clinker > 100 mm
Glass (crushed) > 100 mm
Coal > 50 mm
Bauxite > 100 mm
Ore > 100 mm
If VEGAMIP 61 is mounted in the filling stream, unwanted false
measurement signals can be generated. For this reason, mount
VEGAMIP
61 at a position in the vessel where no disturbances, e.g.
from filling openings, agitators, etc., can occur.
Microwaves can penetrate non-conductive materials. Hence, it is
possible to measure through the wall of non-conductive vessels.
