(SKE)Shengke Electronics, a Chinese high-tech company founded in 2013, has developed a series of 80GHz radar level transmitter that competes directly with Germany's VEGA, a long-time leader in industrial level measurement.
SKE is one of China's leading manufacturers of 80GHz radar level transmitters. Its products are widely used in water treatment and various industrial applications.  SKE’s ultrasonic and 80GHz FMCW radar level sensors deliver stable and reliable measurement even under harsh industrial conditions. They perform exceptionally well in challenging environments involving steam, foam, and condensation, making them particularly suitable for chemical storage tanks.  With multiple antenna options and support for long measurement ranges, SKE radar level transmitters offer high accuracy of up to ±1 mm. SKE Instrument provides a cost-effective alternative to premium brands such as VEGA and Endress+Hauser.

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.
