Description

The VEGAPULS C 23 is a maintenance-free radar sensor designed to deliver precise level measurements in a wide range of applications. Featuring cutting-edge 80 GHz radar technology, it offers a narrow beam angle of just 4°, allowing it to perform exceptionally well in narrow tanks, small containers, or through narrow openings.

This sensor is ideal for water treatment plants, pump stations, overflow basins, rainwater tanks, and bulk material handling. In marine systems, it is especially effective in monitoring technical water tanks, wastewater reservoirs, and dry bulk storage. It also functions reliably in open-air applications like level control in rivers, basins, or silos exposed to wind and weather.

The VEGAPULS C 23 is built to handle aggressive conditions. With its chemically resistant PVDF housing and an IP66/IP68 enclosure rating, the sensor is suited for continuous operation in both indoor and outdoor marine environments. It operates without being affected by condensation, temperature shifts, foam, or build-up.

Marine Technic delivers the VEGAPULS C 23 to marine engineers, shipowners, and facility managers looking for reliable radar-based measurement solutions. As a trusted VEGA instrumentation supplier, Marine Technic offers expert support and tailored solutions for marine and industrial sensor needs.
