Representatives from industries across the manufacturing and production spectrum were able to experience Vega’s technology first hand at a recent product training morning held at the Roodepoort Country Club. The day was hosted by Vega’s South African subsidiary Vega Instruments SA. On hand to introduce the company and the technology were Vega executive managing director Günter Kech and product manager Florian Burgert, Vega Instruments SA was represented by MD John Groom and national sales manager Clint Viviers.

Burgert introduced delegates to the different housings available in the Vega range, including suspension pressure transmitters, differential pressure sensors and sensors using ceramic-capacitive measuring cells. Depending on the applications, housings are available in plastic, aluminium and stainless steel, all double chambered for extra protection. Live demonstrations illustrated the qualities of the ceramic Certec cell and remote configuration using the VegaConnect technology.
Viviers introduced delegates to Vega’s wireless communication technology. PlicsMobile is based on the GSM/GPRS standard and reduces on-site service visits through remote diagnosis and teleservice. Its application is ideal for mobile silos, deep wells, high containers, river and sea levels, waste oil collection sites and material recycling facilities.
New capabilities
Groom expanded on Vega Instruments SA’s new capabilities and renewed vigour now that the January 2012 move to the Honeydew premises is complete. The expanded service department is able to carry out 90% of instrument repairs within seven working days and new machinery installed will allow for the local manufacture of flanges, process components and sockets. “We are in the business not only of selling instruments, but also selling ourselves as relationship builders and trustworthy and reliable partners. Our goal is to enable our customers to get on with the business of running their plants to the fullest capability.”
