Real-time particle sizing enables Sacci S.p.A. to produce higher quality cement with less manual input

摘要

Cement producer Sacci S.p.A. is using an Insitec on-line laser diffraction particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments at its site in Tavernola, Italy, for process control of the cement mill, to enhance product quality and reduce the time that operators spend on process control. The use of real-time particle size data to automate the milling circuit that produces finished cement has liberated operators to focus on higher value work. At the same time it has significantly improved product consistency.
