VEGA is a “Global Producer” for international cement and mining companies/plant and Large Plant producers in the cement industries. Level and pressure sensors has been widely used for many years at different stages of cement production from crusher monitoring up to silo level metering. Sensors used in the cement industry must make reliable measurement under the challenging work conditions. Robust VEGA sensors enables a maintenance-free long-lasting use at all stages of the production.
Our special solutions:
Cyclone Blockage Monitoring with Radiometric Metering
Ensuring full process safety and mitigation of unintended production halts
Cyclones are used in clinker production for pre-heating the raw meal. Rawmeal is pre-heated at the temperatures up to +900 °C in the cyclone before being introduced into the rotary kiln for clinker production. This steam phase created by the raw meal which cools down and condensates while moving along the cyclones clings to the inner surface of cyclone and raw meal in the pre-heating tower. As a result, a layering is created on the inner surfaces of cyclone in time eventually leading to the clogging. Continuous control of the layer thickness ensures the process to operate seamlessly.
SOLITRAC 31 and VEGASOURCE 31 Radiometric Metering Devices
You can monitor the clogging by making radiometric measurement in the cyclones in order to have conclusive and correct measurement results that are independent of the process conditions, and to ensure a complete process safety by detecting the adhered materials. A high level of plant productivity is achieved thanks to contactless radiometric measurement method.
It is possible to make timely interventions thanks to the cyclone monitoring. In some plants, said monitoring is also known to be made using pressure measurement method.
Also, cooling tubes are used to protect sensor against high temperatures, which removes the sensor away from the process.
For devices, maintenance-free and a long lifecycle are two important criteria for plant managers and maintenance teams. As part of radiometric measurement method, a continuous and limit level, proportional clogging, level and density measurement can be made.
VEGA Radar Level Metering and Limit Level Detection Solutions – Crusher
Level measurement and limit level detection in the crusher
Using explosion method, some pieces are broken off the bedrock to obtain rock pieces with a size that can be transported. In the subsequent processes, these rock pieces are processed to obtain basic construction materials such as ballasts, chips or sand. Large rock pieces are crushed in different sizes with jaw crushers and cylindrical crushers. As a requirement of an economic operation, it is necessary to carry out both level measurement and limit level detection in order to minimize the wearing-off rate of the crusher.
VEGAPULS 69 – Radar Limit Sensor
You can carry out a reliable metering in the crusher without having to deal with or take into account excessive dusting and weather conditions thanks to contactless radar level metering. It will ensure high operational productivity thanks to being noise-proof and will minimize your maintenance needs thanks to contactless measurement method.
VEGAMIP 61
You can carry out limit level detection in crusher via microwave barrier. As a result, you will have;
• An operation that is almost maintenance-free thanks to contactless measurement,
• Reliable measurement results even in the existence of the high levels of contamination or adherence,
• External measurement thanks to the sturdy plastic or ceramic viewing window.
