In cement production, raw meal is cooked in long rotary furnaces to obtain clinker. Clinkers taken out from rotary furnace are about +1300 °C and needs to be cooled down to +200 °C before storage. For this purpose, clinker bed is cooled by a constant airflow. In order to have efficient cooling, pressure checking must be performed below the clinker cooler. Clinker at 1000 °C temperature needs to be measured reliably on the conveyor belt.
You may perform a reliable level measurement with radar in clinker cooler with VEGAPULS 68. It also provide precise measurements even at very high temperatures; utilizing a fan and compressed air, effective cooling of antenna is ensured, and the service life of the device is longer due to the heat-tolerant antenna system.
Pressure control with VEGABAR 82 in clinker cooler; thanks to abrasion-resistant measuring cell, long service life, and flush-mounting of the device, it provides maintenance-free operation.

With VIS (Vega Inventory System), you will be able to monitor controlling of the silos of your cement plant from one center, and use your logistic system more efficiently with forecasting calculations. Particularly those producers whose silos are located far away from their own areas perform all the controls via a center leading to economic gains through timesavings from shipments as well as by reducing workload.
VEGA Inventory System allows suppliers to learn their customers’ inventories in their silos on real time basis. VEGA aimed to facilitate works of producer companies by means of the software having all the valid security certificates and integrated with maps in the logistic scheduling. Furthermore, it allows storage of the data of companies securely in cloud with ensured data security.
Suppliers’ advantages
• Rapid access to the usage current and past data thereof
• Economic planning of production and stocking in their own facilities
• Much more productivity in their operational processes
• Savings on expenses thanks to optimized logistic (route planning, etc.)
• Much better customer relations and customer loyalty for longer periods
Supplied customers’ advantages
• Supply safety: No issue of “out of Stock”, leading to ending highcost urgent procurements
• End of needing to suspend production
• Lowered administrative costs
• Increased productivity due to automated system
• Companies may focus on its main activities
