Automate your grinding operation

Cement plants are becoming more sophisticated, generally equipped with Distributed Control Systems (DCS). As the Malvern Insitec is capable of streaming particle sizing data continuously into the control system via analog or digital connection, the next step is to fully automate control of the plant, bringing benefits in:

  • Labor savings with fewer staff needed to run the mill
  • Streamlined operation that improves product consistency
  • A much educed risk of out of spec material

Direct automation/interface
Most cement plants implement an automatic control loop as a matter of course once an Insitec system is installed. Many approaches have been taken. For further details of two possible approaches:
