Vega Instruments' one day Bulk Solids Seminar held recently in Johannesburg, was positively received by the many participants who were present. The event was held close to the peaceful Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens on a fine spring day. Attended by various professionals involved in the instrumentation field, all agreed that they came away from MD Alan Wynn's presentation having learnt more than they had anticipated.
Maintenance supervisor at Much Asphalt, William Nenjarema, says, "I found the seminar very helpful and I learnt a lot about the products that were covered. Alan Wynn's presentation was extremely good." This sentiment was reflected by Wilfred Barkhuizen of Krupp UHDE. He said, "The seminar was very informative, especially on the level sensing technology and I found the information on VEGA's new products very useful."
There was one lucky winner of an ACER PDA with GPS antenna and map positioning software, drawn at the end of the afternoon. The happy driver who will never get lost was Willem Erasmus from Mogale Alloys.
