Real-time Freeness Values, No Time-Outs

More precise control over the refining process, results in less waste, higher yield and reduced production costs. Easier said than done. The Satron Lumina VCF provides real-time data on the pulp’s degree of refining to support…

• Horsepower-days per Ton control
• Refining Target Freeness Setpoint control

  Whether you are doing an energy balancing act or adjusting plate gap to maintain the target freeness, real-time data supplied in a reliable manner is mission critical.  What does real-time get you?

• Adjustments  to hit the sweet spot – minimizing energy use while ensuring the pulp is of the right quality
• Data needed to fine tune process leading to less waste from off-spec production
• Abnormal situation detection enabling proactive maintenance.
• Instantaneous comparison of current freeness levels with target levels
• Energy optimization avoiding excess usage from over-refining and avoiding inferior quality from under-refining

Footprint of an Inline Probe, Because it’s a Probe!

What you’ll need for a real-time freeness transmitter

• Insertion point
• Installation of probe into the flow of the pulp
• A location for the RDU/enclosure and supply power
• Sampling and Calibration
• Connectivity to control system
• Examine it during an outage

Skip the Robot Infrastructure, Get the Freeness Values

What you’ll need for a robot analyzer

• Insertion points
• Vibration-free, temperature controlled environment, that is dust-free and well ventilated
• Connectivity to control systems
• Water supply, and drainage required for sample dilution & cleaning, and wastewater drainage
• Access for personnel and equipment because robots require frequent maintenance for optimal functioning
• Human resources, either your own people or an annual support contract to bring in the robot’s minders.
• Sampling and Calibration
• Safety infrastructure like power cut-off, electrical hazard protection, compliance with regulations and standards

Continuous With Little to No Maintenance

• Most important element is you.  Good sampling, following standard procedures at the beginning, means great calibration
• Latest LED-based techniques using multi-frequency light transmits strobes of light into the pulp and measuring the back-scatter characteristics
• Flexible configuration with a standard measuring probe or remote measuring probe
