Materials processors can now see for themselves how they can improve the performance of their plant and operations thanks to Hosokawa Micron’s new Performance Improvement Service’s on-line reference facility that intimately reveals a plant’s operating status.
Utilising a unique condition monitoring solution, that monitors data 24.7 from key sensors on processing equipment within Hosokawa’s Runcorn toll processing facility, plant managers can see a practical demonstration of how even small adjustments to equipment settings, material feeds etc can affect plant performance.
Able to highlight and identify in real time, individual actions and their consequences, the new on-line demo facility gives customers a unique understanding and appreciation of plant and process improvement options that are clear, concise and recognisably relevant to their own plant.
‘By installing the latest monitoring and analysis technologies on one of our own existing milling plants within our toll processing facility at Runcorn we are free to showcase the technologies and skills we can offer customers for improving production from Hosokawa equipment,’ explains Iain Crosley, Managing Director, Hosokawa Micron Ltd.
‘The expected customer benefits from improved remote condition monitoring and support are faster resolution of problems, decreased equipment downtime and more efficient operation of the plant and equipment. This new demonstration facility clearly shows potential improvements available from even relatively simple corrective actions.
