Optimising Processes Across the Quarry
VEGA instrumentation is engineered for real-world quarry
environments, supporting a wide range of critical applications,
including:
• Crushers & Crash Boxes – Continuous measurement with
VEGAPULS 6X to prevent blockages and optimise
throughput
• Conveyors & Transfer Points – Improved material flow
monitoring and reduced downtime
• Screen Houses & Toast Racks – Accurate measurement in
high-dust, high-vibration conditions
• Hot Stone Bins – Reliable continuous level detection,
even under high temperatures and material build-up
These solutions are designed not just for accuracy, but to
improve plant uptime and reduce manual intervention.
VEGAPULS Air and Remote Monitoring
Digitalisation continues to play a growing role in quarry
operations. With solutions such as VEGAPULS Air and the
VEGA Inventory System (VIS), operators can remotely monitor
levels in silos, bins, and tanks—providing real-time visibility
from ‘sensor to software to screen’.
Battery-powered and easy to deploy, these systems support
better stock management, improved logistics, and fewer site
visits—particularly valuable across large or multi-site
operations.
Driving Efficiency and Reducing Costs
A key theme for Hillhead 2026 is application efficiency—
helping operators achieve tangible cost savings. Accurate and
reliable measurement enables:
• Reduced overfilling and material loss
• Improved process control and plant throughput
• Lower maintenance through non-contact technologies
• Enhanced safety by minimising manual checks
Selecting the right instrumentation for each application can
deliver immediate and long-term operational gains.
Service and Support: System Health Check
To complement its hardware offering, VEGA provides a
dedicated System Health Check service, designed to
maintain measurement accuracy and ensure long-term
instrument reliability.
This structured service includes visual inspection of installed
devices, function and performance testing, and optimisation of
setup and parameters to suit the application. Adjustments are
made where required, and recommendations are provided for
future improvements or upgrades. Each visit is fully
documented, with digital reports and backup files to support
compliance and audit readiness .
By identifying potential issues early—such as signal instability
or configuration drift—the System Health Check helps reduce
the risk of unexpected failure, extend equipment lifespan, and
maintain consistent process performance.
Fast Delivery and Industry-Leading Lead Times
VEGA is recognised for offering some of the fastest delivery
times in the market. This is a significant advantage in the
quarrying sector, where downtime or urgent replacements can
have immediate operational impact. Compared to typical
industry lead times, VEGA provides a responsive and reliable
supply chain that keeps projects moving.
Built for Confidence: 3-Year Warranty
All instrumentation is backed by a 3-year warranty as
standard in the UK, providing additional assurance of long-
term performance and reliability in demanding environments.
