VEGA has been developing, manufacturing, and improving radiometric measurement technology since 1955 and has been involved in many paper mills.
Making paper is no easy task. It involves a number of processes, many of which involve extreme heat, chemicals, or a combination of the two. These factors make monitoring what’s happening in the tanks, vessels, and pipes especially difficult for most process measurement instrumentation. Any technology that comes into contact with the materials used to make paper doesn’t last long. That’s why a lot of paper mills have traditionally used radiometric technology to monitor continuous level, point level, mass flow rates, and density.
Radiometric instrumentation is completely external. It doesn’t interfere with the process, and the process conditions don’t damage the sensor. These instruments are impervious to thermal shock, chemical attack, and other extreme process conditions, and as a result, the sensors last a long time.
