Consisting of a sophisticated toolbox and specialized application modules, FLSmidth’s ECS/ProcessExpert advanced process control is available for comminution, separation and pyro-metallurgical applications. Built on leading-edge technologies such as MPC and Fuzzy Logic, ECS/ProcessExpert provides advanced process control and optimization for cement & minerals processing plants that will enhance profitability and reduce operational costs. This product has been designed to enable communication with most commercially popular control systems making it ideal for both green fields and existing operations.
ECS/PlantGuide® – management information & data historian system
Designed to facilitate qualified business decisions,
ECS/PlantGuide’s data collection engine ensures consistent quality of data collection. Reports and analysis can be generated in a variety of formats to suit management demands. ECS/PlantGuide is ideal for onsite use and for corporate reporting where data from geographically separate plants is required.
Operator Training Simulator
Built on extensive process behavior experience, FLSmidth’s simulation software provides an effective tool for process operator training, and reduces training costs and operational risks.
Advanced Instrumentation
FLSmidth’s strong focus on the cement & minerals industries has resulted in the development of a range of advanced instruments specifically aimed at improving process equipment operation, reducing operational costs and protecting assets. Examples of FLSmidth’s advanced instrumentation solutions include:
Understanding SAG mill load behavior enables mill operators to improve mill throughput, reduce energy consumption and protect mill linings and grinding media from premature wear and damage. The FLSmidth Impactmeter is a valuable addition to any SAG mill and can be integrated into FLSmidth’s advanced process control solution to provide exceptional quality of mill control.
The Infrared Kiln Scanner measures kiln surface temperature and provides 3D graphical visualization of internal operational conditions. Knowledge of the lining condition and other factors contribute to planned maintenance and reduced operational costs.
Designed to safeguard production, FLSmidth’s Gas Analyzer helps to comply with emission standards, optimize fuel consumption and improve kiln and cooler lining life.
