VEGA at steinexpo 2026: Robust Sensors for Process Reliability

At steinexpo, VEGA presents high-performance solutions for level, pressure, and mass flow measurement in raw material extraction and processing.
Reliable measurement under the toughest conditions: At steinexpo from September 2 to 5, VEGA Grieshaber KG will present high-performance solutions for level, pressure, and mass flow measurement in raw material extraction and processing. The focus is on robust, low-maintenance sensors that deliver precise measurement results even in dust, vibration, and extreme weather conditions.

Especially in quarries, durable and reliable measurement systems are crucial for cost-effective operations. Here, VEGA relies on modern radar technology for non-contact level measurement. The sensors operate precisely even under heavy dust development, material buildup, or changing bulk solids, ensuring continuous inventory monitoring in silos, bunkers, and crushers.

The portfolio is complemented by robust pressure measurement instruments for hydraulic applications, pumps, and pipelines. They ensure safe process monitoring even under high mechanical loads and help prevent downtime.

A special highlight is the radiometric mass flow measurement. It enables continuous, wear-free monitoring of throughput and conveying capacity on belt conveyors – non-contact and independent of material properties. Plant operators benefit from high plant availability, optimized processes, and consistent product quality.

All VEGA solutions feature simple integration, low maintenance requirements, and a long service life – key factors for efficient and safe operations in the demanding quarrying and aggregates industry.

Visitors to steinexpo are cordially invited to visit Stand P208 to learn about the latest developments and discuss individual applications with VEGA experts.

VEGA opens new plant in China
VEGA officially commissioned and identity celebrated the opening of a new location in Jiaxing, China, at the end of May. Schiltach/Jiaxing. The measurement technology manufacturer VEGA Grieshaber KG from Schiltach is further expanding its international presence. At the end of May, the company officially commissioned and celebrated the opening of a new location in Jiaxing, China. Following the expansion of electronics production in the USA in October 2025, the company is strengthening its global production strategy and creating the basis for further growth. Production at the headquarters in Schiltach will remain in place and will be supplemented by the new plant. VEGA has now been active on the Chinese market for 37 years. The newly constructed building in Jiaxing comprises around 21,000 square meters of production, warehouse, and office space. The location provides space for about 180 employees. The start of production was preceded by several years of intensive planning. Construction was completed on schedule: following the start of construction in December 2024, the project was completed…

VEGA at IFAT 2026
Stable measured values for a resilient water industry. From 4 to 8 May 2026, at IFAT in Munich, booth C1.239, VEGA will be showing state-of-the-art level and pressure instrumentation. Extreme weather events, increasing demands on drinking water quality and ever more complex wastewater processes are putting operators under increasing pressure. A sustainable and resilient water and wastewater infrastructure therefore needs one thing above all else: reliable measurement data, even under difficult conditions. From 4 to 8 May 2026, at IFAT in Munich, booth C1.239, VEGA will be showing how state-of-the-art level and pressure instrumentation helps to keep processes stable and efficient over the long term. Interactive demonstrations at the exhibition stand illustrate the capabilities of the sensors under realistic operating conditions. One focus is on wastewater treatment. Precise and stable measured values are indispensable in all process stages: from inflow via pumping stations to sedimentation and aeration to sludge dewatering and effluent control. Even in the presence of foam, vapours, buildup or changing media conditions, VEGA sensors deliver…

Copper recycling: good for the environment and the economy
The processing of copper scrap involves many precisely coordinated processes. When it comes to level instrumentation, Montanwerke Brixlegg relies on radar technology from VEGA. Very few companies can look back on over 550 years of company history. The Brixlegg copper-silver smelter appeared in documents for the first time in 1463. Copper and silver ores were mined there and refined into pure metals up until the 20th century. Since 1890, secondary materials containing copper have been increasingly used as raw materials instead of ores. “While the challenges back then were for the most part exclusively mining problems, today they are much broader. We are now responsible for maintaining a positive interplay between people, the environment and the economy,” explains Patrick Oberladstätter, Head of Electrical Engineering at Montanwerke Brixlegg in Tyrol. Today, Montanwerke Brixlegg AG is a 100 % upcycling company with more than 350 employees and one of the most important industrial operations in western Austria. The plant in Brixlegg is considered a specialist in copper recycling and the associated copper refining. But there is more to it:…

Robust Level Measurement Technology for Bulk Solids – VEGA at SOLIDS  VEGA, as a specialist in level and pressure measurement technology, will present its proven sensor solutions for the bulk solids industry at SOLIDS from March 18th to 19th, 2026 – at Stand 5-P14 – in Dortmund.
Robust Level Measurement Technology for Bulk Solids – VEGA at SOLIDS
VEGA, as a specialist in level and pressure measurement technology, will present its proven sensor solutions for the bulk solids industry at SOLIDS from March 18th to 19th, 2026 – at Stand 5-P14 – in Dortmund. The focus will be on solutions for demanding applications in the bulk solids industry where reliability and easy integration are crucial. Reliable level measurement is a central challenge in the bulk solids and process industries – especially under demanding conditions such as dust, noise, build-up, vibrations, or changing process parameters. VEGA offers solutions for this that operate precisely and with low maintenance even under these extreme environments. The focus is on the VEGAPULS 6X with a purge air connection. The universally applicable radar sensor guarantees safe level measurement, even with heavy dust development or antenna contamination. The measuring portfolio is completed by the proven vibration limit switches VEGAVIB and VEGAWAVE. Whether fine powder or coarse bulk solids – the robust sensors reliably report any exceeding or falling below defined limit levels, thus ensuring a smooth process flow. With its robust sensors, VEGA demonstrates…

Automate without an entry threshold How VEGA’s IoT level measurement technology is paving the way for automated logistics
Automate without an entry threshold
How VEGA’s IoT level measurement technology is paving the way for automated logistics For a long time, level measurement was a simple, local issue in the process industry. Sensors detected whether a container was empty or full, sometimes providing percentage values, but rarely integrating the results into larger systems. However, this view of measurement technology has changed fundamentally. Today, it’s no longer just about individual measuring points, but about networked systems: about greater transparency, higher efficiency – and about making decisions automatically, before they become urgent. VEGA recognised this transition early on and helped shape it – with, among other things, the autonomous VEGAPULS Air radar sensor, VEGA Inventory System, the APL communication standard and universal Bluetooth connectivity. The goal of these developments is to make logistics processes not only more efficient but also more proactive. At the centre of all this is the concept of user-friendliness: Solutions should make everyday work noticeably easier. Step…
