Overview
The Vega VEGAVIB61 vibrating level switch delivers dependable point-level detection for granular and coarse-grained bulk solids in demanding industrial environments. This unit features a vibrating rod mechanism that responds to material buildup or depletion, triggering relay output for process control. The 1.4404GP9 stainless steel housing ensures corrosion resistance and durability in harsh conditions. With DC connector termination, the VEGAVIB61 integrates easily into automated material handling, chemical processing, and bulk storage systems requiring reliable overfill protection and low-level alarms.
Key Features
- Vibrating rod point-level detection for granular bulk solids and coarse materials
- 316L stainless steel (1.4404) housing for corrosion and chemical resistance
- Compact connector-based termination for quick installation and replacement
- Overfill protection and empty-level alarm functionality
- SIL2-capable design for safety-critical industrial applications
- Proven Vega engineering and manufacturing reliability
Technical Specifications
The VEGAVIB61 is engineered to meet industrial automation standards for point-level switching in bulk-material applications. Typical vibrating level switches in this class operate on DC power with adjustable sensitivity to minimize false alarms from material bridging or consolidation.
Typical Applications
- Overfill protection for hoppers, bins, and silos containing granular solids (cement, flour, plastics, aggregates)
- Empty-level alarm for conveyor feeders and storage tanks
- Material inventory management and surge-bin control
- Chemical and food processing bulk-material handling
- Mining and mineral processing operations
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Industrial PLC and process control systems accepting relay dry-contact or switching outputs
- 24 V DC control circuits and process automation networks
- Legacy and modern bulk-material handling equipment with rod-probe mounting provisions
- ATEX and hazardous-area certified installations (where applicable)
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The Vega VEGAVIB61 is a direct replacement for earlier VEGAVIB 61 model revisions. Verify mounting orientation and connector type with your system integrator before ordering to ensure proper fit in existing installations. Model variants include VEGAVIB 63 for different probe lengths.
Works With
- Standard industrial relay modules and PLC input cards
- Dry-contact switching (NO/NC) signal output
- Bulk-material hopper and bin-level control systems
- SCADA and process monitoring platforms accepting point-level input signals
