Resin – an important raw material
In the manufacture of resins, different basic materials are mixed with solvents and caused to react through the input of process heat. The resins produced during this process serve as raw materials for a broad spectrum of products – from the automotive industry to the manufacture of toys.
Process temperatures over 150°C (302°F), vacuum or high gauge pressure, as well as buildup of viscous products are conditions that place tremendous demands on the implemented measurement technology.
Level measurement with VEGAPULS 63
Contactless level measurement with the radar sensor VEGAPULS 63 is ideal for applications in the manufacture of reaction products. Because the measurement takes place without direct contact with the medium, practically no buildup can form on the sensor. The radar measurement is not affected by process conditions such as temperature, pressure or gas overlay, and delivers accurate results even when agitators cause strong product turbulence. Since radar technology always measures the distance to the product surface, the measurement is also not affected by product density changes during the process. Especially when corrosive products are involved, the protective PFTE cover guarantees optimum chemical resistance. At process temperatures over 150°C (302°F), the VEGAPULS 62 with temperature adapter is the ideal solution.
