Robust measurement technology in the production of metals

Measurement technology from VEGA can be found in all processes of metal production: in ore mining, steelmaking, blast furnace charging as well as in storage, e.g. of aggregates. VEGA sensors provide reliable data in all areas of metal extraction and production.

» Mining of ore

Storage of ores in the silo
Primary and secondary stone crushers in ore mining

» Steel production

Limestone, coke and sinter − raw materials for steelmaking
Coke – as important as the iron ore itself

» Blast furnace

Monitoring the charging of the blast furnace
Tapping the blast furnace

» Additives

Additives determine the quality of the metals

» Smelting of aluminium

Mixer and agitators

» Aluminium smelting

Storage of aluminium oxide powder
Dispensing powder into the electrolytic cell
