At the industry exhibition “POWTECH/TechnoPharm 2010″, the three trade journals PROCESS, PharmaTEC and Schüttgut (Bulk Solids Handling) awarded VEGA the Innovation Awards for the 3rd time on April 27th, 2010. The object of the competition was to find the most innovative devices and procedures in the chemical, pharmaceutical and processing industries. Several categories were announced; degree of innovation, quality, efficiency and profitability for users, were again this year the criteria for the award. The newly developed components, procedures and systems were not allowed to be older than twelve months and also had to be already available on the market. The winners were chosen by a professional jury within the context of an official awards ceremony on the first evening of the fair.VEGA applied for the award with its new product VEGAMIP in the category “Measurement and Control Technology/Automation”. The crucial factors for the jury’s decision were the simple operation and versatile application range of the microwave barrier.With the microwave barrier VEGAMIP 61, VEGA integrates a well-known measuring principle into the design concept plics®. VEGAMIP detects the limit level of bulk solids and liquids through non-contact measurement and with absolute certainty.

The limit level detector is especially adapted to the requirements and needs of the bulk solids industry and reliably detects the limit level even under adverse environmental conditions like strong dust generation, fog or high temperatures. But the instrument also offers many advantages over other measuring principles in the areas of liquid level detection or object detection.
