Performance Optimization

Performance meets sustainability

To us, performance and sustainability go hand in hand: We use
data analytics and machine learning to identify your cement
plant’s strong and weak points to make impactful changes that
increase your plant’s performance noticeably without increasing
emissions.

Machine Protection System

Stay in control with automation

Our Machine Protection System is an automated system developed to prevent equipment damages and malfunctions by unique monitoring and evaluation of force flow. Its’ primary aim is the observance of load figures, based on the constructional design, during operation. Certain load values are monitored by special sensors and analyzed. In case of detecting overstepping of these load values a noticeable warning is generated.

This way critical loads in your mill over a certain duration are avoided as well as malfunction and machinery damages – which in turn saves energy and material resources. With a standardized communication interface, all data can be analyzed further by domain experts. Recommendations can be created and maintenance intervals planned.

Success Story

Machine Protection System

The development of our Machine Protection System (MPS) started in 2000 with thyssenkrupp’s vertical roller mills Quadropol. The system’s primary aim is to monitor load figures, based on the constructional design, during operation. Sensitive load values are monitored by sensors and analyzed.

Since the year 2010 every delivered vertical roller mill has been equipped with a MPS by default. As our MPS has proven its’ reliability at the vertical roller mill, it now has been transferred to the high-pressure grinding rolls POLYCOM. Meanwhile, the development for our long-term goal is at full speed: To make Machine Protection Systems available for all types of machinery relevant to cement production.

Advanced Machine Control

Plant operation made easy

As plant operator you know your machines best. Our Advanced Machine Controller (AMC) continuously adjusts the control parameters according to the selected targets according to your production’s individual requirements.

In contrast to manual operation, the controller prevents the system from being overloaded and leads to an improved mill operation. In addition, the operator’s workload is significantly reduced and he is free for other tasks.

Benefits

The thyssenkrupp service team is always in a position to detect and rectify faults at short notice through the analysis of our customers plant’s operating and process data: To stabilize grinding levels, to optimize operation automatically and to oncrease efficiency.
