SUGAR MELTER AUTOMATION WITH BRIX ANALYZER AND DENSITY BRIX SENSOR
Sugar Melter Automation Advantages:
- Streamlined Process Due To Constant And Maintained Outlet Brix And Temperature.
- Ensure Constant Quality Of Molasses Feed To Pans.
- Reduce Heat Waste, Due To Overheating Or Under Dilution Or Over Steaming.
- Reduce Process Time By Avoiding Extra Dilution
- Thus Save Time, Steam, And Water And Ensure More Throughput In Less Time.
- Increase Profitability
Control Loops:
- Controlled Intake Of Heating Media (Steam), And Diluting Media (Water) As Per Process Dynamics Like Brix And Temperature Of The Raw Or Recycled Sugar Intake.
Brix Control using Brix or Fluid-Density-Brix
Analyzer:
- Brix Of Sugar Melt Are Maintained By The Controlled Addition Of Hot Water To Molasses Using A Hot Water Control Valve In A Pid Loop. Value Of Sugar Melt’S Fluiddensity- Brix / Brix Sensed By A Fluid-Density-Brix Analyzer Or High-Frequency Brix Analyzer Is Used As The Process Variable For This Pid Action..
Temperature Control:
- Sugar Melt Temperature Is Maintained Constant By Controlled Application Of Steam Using A Control Valve In A Pid Loop Using Melt Temperature Value As The Process Variable For Pid Action.
