Shengke Electronics, a Chinese high-tech company founded in 2013, has developed an 80GHz radar level transmitter that competes directly with Germany's VEGA, a long-time leader in industrial level measurement.
Shengke's Key advantages:
Same high frequency (80GHz) and precision (±2mm) as VEGA
Narrower beam angle (<3.5°) for better anti-interference
Compact G1" thread + 150mm waveguide design fits tight spaces where VEGA may not
Resolves signal jump issues that some VEGA units develop over time
Lower price with local Chinese support and faster service
In a real local refinery application, Shengke's radar level transmitter successfully replaced a problematic VEGA unit, eliminating signal jumps and fitting into a cramped explosion-proof cabinet without affecting nearby equipment.
Bottom line: For industrial users facing tight budgets, confined spaces, or needing local support, Shengke offers near-VEGA performance at a lower cost, especially in harsh conditions with steam, foam, or obstacles.
