Our advanced control software optimizes the dose parameters during and after each dose. This ensures accurate and consistent dosing performance whether it’s with ALFRA Dosing Slides or dosing systems of third parties. Raw materials with varying flow properties are dosed fast and accurately.

The detailed process and machine control ensures a correct dosage. In case of problems, the operator can intervene directly. This leads to higher quality, fewer rejects and less downtime.

In the process of grinding, crushing or rolling the right flour structure must be achieved at the highest possible capacity. This is done through a scheme where the flow and speed of the mill are optimally matched. The system registers the time during which the hammer mill runs loaded in a certain position (hammer side and rotation direction). This enables in time replacement of worn-out hammers and prevents unnecessary standstill.

There are different mixer executions wherefore specific functions are available; such as multiple drives, rotation, product detection, etc. Also available are various controls such as mixing time monitoring (prevents demixing) and start detection at a filled mixer. Liquids or hand tipping can be easily added to the mixer.

Because there are so many variables that influence the pelleting process, determining the optimum conditioning method must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. It is virtually impossible to set a standard on the time, moisture, temperature and pressure parameters for fine tuning conditioning. It also depends on the formulation, hygiene requirement (such as pasteurisation), process control and cost. Finding the balance for all these parameters is a challenge as each formulation has its own settings. Ensuring that the conditions are consistently repeated regardless of who is operating the machine, is another challenge, and one that KSE’s PROMAS ST pelletizing line software can help.

The PROMAS ST pelletizing line control software is independent of machine brand and type, and is therefore compatible with all regular brands of pellet mills and pre-compacting equipment. It can control pelletizing lines, double pelleting lines, pelletizing lines with expanders, extruders, pre-conditioners and it can control also the processes of ripening, drying, cooling, crumbling, sifting and (vacuum) coating.

The process of bulk outloading has a wide diversity of executions. You can work with direct bulk outloading, directly with weighing and indirectly with weighing. It may involve transport belts, mobile and stationary bunkers and counter set loading, to name a few of the variations.

PROMAS ST ensures you have the control in a user-friendly way. The use of modules means you can upgrade or modify your logistics infrastructure without having to completely renew the bulk outloading control software.

The ‘Production Insight’ is an exceptionally helpful aid for the planner. It provides a detailed and realtime insight into the expected end time for production and occupation of production lines. For example, it is quick and easy to display when customer orders are ready, the raw material stock is topped up or when a truck can be loaded. It makes optimum use of available silos and allows logistics planning to be seamlessly integrated without intensive discussion.

The advanced functions for production remain available (batch on demand, batch size optimization, raw material replacement and contamination control).
