Agenda

Reliable sample taking is important in times of decreasing raw material quality and the requirement to run the sinter plant at high performance. Gaining information on the moisture level and permeability of the sinter raw mix on a standardized and continuous basis allows to operate the plant with maximum productivity. A robotic device therefore delivers the basis information for the automation and control system of the sinter plant. This sample-taking and analysis system works without an operator and with highest safety standards. Being connected to the implemented controller of the automation system, the system regulates overall performance based on the processed information about the incoming raw materials in automated mode.
