Description

The VEGACAP 64 is a robust, maintenance-free level switch that uses capacitive sensing technology to detect the presence of liquids or solids at a defined level. It is designed for industrial and marine applications where accuracy, durability, and resistance to media buildup are essential. Its rod-style probe is fully coated in PTFE, providing excellent chemical resistance and ensuring stable performance even with aggressive or sticky products.

In marine environments, the VEGACAP 64 is particularly well-suited for use in service tanks, sludge tanks, chemical tanks, and other containers where standard level sensors may fail due to coating or condensation. Its build-up resistant design allows for consistent switching without the need for recalibration or cleaning, improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime.

The VEGACAP 64 is unaffected by foam, vapor, or pressure fluctuations, making it ideal for safety-critical functions such as overfill protection, pump dry-run protection, and interface detection. Its modular design supports various process connections and housing types, enabling flexible installation in both new and retrofit marine systems.

Marine Technic supplies the VEGACAP 64 to shipowners, shipyards, and marine contractors seeking precise and long-lasting level detection technology. As a trusted supplier of VEGA instruments, Marine Technic ensures reliable solutions, fast delivery, and expert technical support for all maritime sensor applications.
