VEGA's winning formula for mining reliability

20th August 2026

     

Font size: - +

For more than 60 years, VEGA has been at the forefront of level and pressure measurement technology, supporting demanding industries such as mining, chemicals, oil and gas, and water. Known for reliable instrumentation and long-standing customer partnerships, VEGA helps mining operators optimise processes and maintain reliable performance in some of the harshest environments, including dust, vibration, extreme temperatures and explosive atmospheres.

Built for Mining Conditions
VEGA’s radar sensors, like the VEGAPULS series, deliver non-contact, accurate level detection for ore, slurry and solids storage, even in high-dust silo environments where other technologies struggle. Their immunity to harsh process conditions makes them ideal for mining silos and stockpiles, with straightforward installation that minimises costly downtime.

The VEGABAR pressure sensor series handles everything from low-pressure applications to the intense demands of mineral processing, with electronic differential pressure solutions replacing traditional oil-filled capillaries for consistent performance despite temperature swings. Guided wave radar and point level instruments round out the offering for granular solids and powders.

Smart Mining, Safer Operations
VEGA’s sensors integrate with IO-Link, Profibus and Ethernet-APL, supporting smart mine automation and digitalisation. Built-in Bluetooth enables wireless configuration and monitoring, a critical safety advantage in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas of a mine. Instruments comply with ATEX, IECEx and SIL standards, with fail-safe and self-monitoring features that flag process irregularities before they become costly incidents.

Local Expertise, African Impact
VEGA’s strong presence in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa means mining operators get expert engineers and tailored technical support on the ground. Across the region, VEGA’s radar sensors deliver precise ore and slurry measurement, improving process 
consistency and reducing interruptions, ultimately helping African mining operations maintain global competitiveness.

As mining advances toward greater automation, VEGA continues investing in smart, connected instrumentation; from pinpoint radar for stockpiles to rugged pressure transmitters for processing plants.

VEGA’s journey rests on one principle: solutions that make mining processes safer, more efficient and more sustainable. For African mining operators, VEGA is more than a supplier, it is a true partner in progress.
