Expertly designed

The sensors are also characterised by their flush process fittings and leakproof, robust housings (IP69K). What is more, they reliably withstand all cleaning processes, whether under pressure, high temperatures or with chemicals.

Resistant to buildup

VEGA sensors operate either with or without physical contact to the medium. In cases where they do use a process-contacting measuring principle, their surfaces and materials are optimised to the requirements of aquaculture.

Unaffected by pressure and temperature fluctuations

Radar level measuring instruments in particular measure independently of weather, pressure and temperature fluctuations. This technology is therefore less susceptible to errors than level measurement with ultrasonic level sensors, for example.

Safe and healthy feed

The process steps in production range from shredding the ingredients, preconditioning and pelletising, to drying and their onward transport.

VEGA sensors monitor and ensure adherence to all recipes and guidelines. Non-contact measurement with radar helps preserve the shape of the fragile pellets. The result: Feed that optimally supplies the fish with nutrients, while retaining its ideal size and stability in water.

Healthy fish stocks

Besides controlling parasites, such as salmon lice, and bacteria, there is also the need for maintaining important water parameters, like optimal concentrations of treatments, which is an important prerequisite for healthy aquatic conditions.

VEGA level and pressure sensors  ensure that operators know exactly what’s in their tanks at all times. What is more, they operate contactlessly and are mounted flush with the tank inner wall, so that the fish cannot injure themselves.

Compliance with all environmental regulations

Through continuous monitoring of their own environmental compatibility, aquacultures guarantee the required sustainability.

Environmental impacts, caused by water extraction, land use, wastewater treatment, medicines and chemicals are all significantly reduced, as well as significant cost savings to the process.

Water of the right quality and quantity

Level sensors that withstand all ambient conditions to reliably monitor the water quantity and quality in the aquaculture tanks, production facilities and pumps.

Warning messages and alarms provide timely information in the event of level and point level deviations to enable a quick response to any degradation of quality.

Wireless adjustment

With Bluetooth, VEGA is looking far into the future. But already today, radio technology is making processes more and more flexible. Wireless communication provides better accessibility: in clean rooms, in harsh industrial environments and in hazardous areas. It allows parameterisation, display and diagnostics from a distance of up to 25 metres, thus saving time and avoiding dangers. Simply via VEGA Tools app – on any available smartphone or tablet.

IO-Link

VEGA uses IO-Link to make optimal use of all possibilities. With this manufacturer-independent, standard communication tool, sensors can be installed, parameterised and, if necessary, put back into operation faster and more cost-effectively. IO-Link is a digital interface that can transmit parameters automatically if an instrument is replaced.

myVEGA

With myVEGA as your personal information platform you have access to numerous online functions relating to the VEGA products.

• 2D/3D drawings of configured instruments
• Access to product documentation and order data
• Access codes for VEGA sensors

VEGA Inventory System

Lower inventory levels mean lower costs. VEGA Inventory System makes all important process and forecast information visible and easy to grasp. Measuring instruments installed on containers, tanks or silos automatically inform the user when replenishments are required. In your plant, the user-friendly service software accesses not only current measurement data, but also consumption data from previous operating periods.
