Robust instrumentation for the challenging processes in the building materials industry

From the bulk material stockpile to the lime kiln: In the areas of mining, conveying, storing and manufacturing raw and finished products in the building materials industry, robust measurement technology for level, limit level and pressure is indispensable.

Reliable measured values even under harsh conditions

In the building materials and aggregates industry there is a wide variety of products: concrete, sand, granite, gravel, clay and cement, just to name a few. As different as the properties of these materials are, the high requirements on robustness, reliability and cost-effectiveness of the deployed measurement technology are nevertheless the same. VEGA instruments measure reliably – in every process. 

Robust

Dust, noise, vibration and extreme temperatures: VEGA transmittters are unaffected by such ambient factors.

Precise

The high measurement accuracy despite fluctuating ambient conditions ensures that processes run optimally.

Durable

The long service life of VEGA instruments reduces maintenance costs over the long term.

The best sensor for every challenging building material

VEGA offers robust sensor solutions that deliver reliable measuring results even under extreme conditions – in the crusher, on the conveyor belt and in the silo.

VEGA Inventory System

Lower inventory levels mean lower costs. VEGA Inventory System makes all important process and forecast information visible and easy to grasp. Measuring instruments installed on containers, tanks or silos automatically inform the user when replenishments are required. In your plant, the user-friendly service software accesses not only current measurement data, but also consumption data from previous operating periods.
