VEGA is a “Global Producer” for international companies and plants in the cement and mining industries.
Being a industry leader for many years and many countries including Turkey for its solutions for different stages of cement production from the level and pressure sensors crusher control up to silo level measurements, we are a solution partner of choice.
Sensors used in the cement industry must make reliable measurement under the challenging work conditions. Solid VEGA sensors enables a maintenance-free long-lasting use at all stages of the production.
VEGA serves to cement industry as the most popular and product in the level measurements, limit level detections and pressure measurements of cement silo, raw meal silo, solid fuel silo, liquid fuel silo as well as truck loading bunkers.
Solutions;
• 80 GHZ RADAR Level Measurement (For Your Silos, Bunkers and Tanks)
Silo Measurements
VEGAPULS 69 – Radar Limit Sensor
You can carry out a reliable measurement in the crusher regardless of the excessive dusting and ambient conditions thanks to contactless radar level measurement. It will ensure high operational productivity thanks to being noise-proof and will minimize your maintenance needs thanks to contactless measurement method.
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.
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.
Radiometric Measurement Systems
• Cyclone Clogging Monitoring – Radiometric Measurement
Ensuring full process safety and mitigation of unintended production halts
Cyclones are used in clinker production for pre-heating the raw meal. Raw-meal 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.

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.
• Mass flow measurement on the conveyor
In the production process, solid materials are mainly transported using conveyors. The transported solid materials must be in correct quantities so that these processes can be controlled properly and the operating costs can be calculated. Sustaining the highest efficiency in the plant operation depends on the contactless measurement made on the transported quantities.

Radiometric mass flow measurements made on the solid materials being transported on the conveyor will produce dust-and contamination-free reliable results. In addition;
• Transported quantities can be measured precisely
• Wearing-proof operational convenience ensured thanks to contactless measurement
• High operational safety thanks to pneumatic on-off of radiation protection housing
• Eliminates the need for a safety zone thanks to the reliable protection shield
IIOT – Industry 4.0 Solutions
With VIS (Vega Inventory System), it is possible to control your silos, to monitor your or your costumer’s concrete plant in one place. Especially producers who have remote silos outside their plants will have control capability in one place, so they can enjoy savings in shipment times, as well as economic benefits thanks to decreased workloads.
VEGA Inventory System enables suppliers to have real-time information about their customers’ inventory level in their silos. VEGA aimed at facilitating operations of producers with a map-integrated software having all necessary security certificates in their logistic planning. Also, it ensures the data security, allowing producers to store their data on the cloud securely.
