VMES4.0 is capable of controlling the entire manufacturing process, including granulation, thanks to its ability to interconnect with third party granulator control systems.
The result: a unified control system and the granulator fully integrated into the plant system. The granulation module of VMES4.0 fully controls the machine and the addition of liquids, as well as the safety and accessories of the granulator.
Benefits of having VMES4.0 in granulation
-
Better machine control = fewer breakdowns
-
Lower spare parts consumption
-
Higher granule quality (more uniform and with fewer fines)
-
Improved microbiological safety and cross-contamination protection
-
Data collection = Reports for decision making
Typical granulation incidents avoided by VMES4.0
INCIDENCE: Insufficient flour quality for correct granulation.
It is resolved with a correct control and dosage of steam and other liquids supplied before granulation.
INCIDENCE: Blockages in the granulator.
It is solved by means of a joint control of the main motor of the machine and of its feeder, as well as of the relief gate. In this way the granulator will operate in an optimum regime.
INCIDENCE: Blockages at points prior to granulation caused by granulation failure.
These blockages are avoided by having a complete control system for the entire plant. That if it detects anomalies in the operation of some of the elements, it establishes a pattern of ordered stop and that facilitates the later restart of the plant.
