In the production environment, accuracy and anti-interference are both important issues. Metal detection becomes a challenging task in harsh or constantly changing weather conditions.

customer

Tianjin Cement Industry Design and Research Institute (TCDRI) was founded in 1953 and is an international engineering company that helps clients establish cement production plants worldwide. Their clients include Russia's European Cement Group, Heidelberg Cement, South Africa's PPC Cement, and others.

key points

TCDRI helps its clients build cement factories around the world. The company relies on Secus metal detectors to provide services to its customers to prevent metal foreign objects from damaging production equipment.

application

Metal detection machine detects pollutants in cement raw materials before proceeding to the next step of processing. This is the only way to protect downstream equipment from damage.

Benefits brought to customers

• Robust design, optimized detection accuracy
• Self learning function can compensate for product effects
• Protecting downstream equipment to improve efficiency

Project Objectives and Implementation

In the process of cement production, raw materials such as clinker, limestone, and gypsum are used. These raw materials need to be ground into powder through vertical grinding before proceeding to the next step of production. Before entering the vertical mill, the raw materials must first be tested by a metal detector to prevent metal particles from entering the mill and causing excessive wear and damage.

Yintaike Secus D ® The metal detection machine is installed on the conveyor belt before the raw materials enter the vertical mill to detect the passing raw materials. The upper and lower separated coil structure can be installed without cutting the conveyor belt, and can also be removed without affecting the conveyor belt.

Separate coils facilitate integration into existing production lines

Cement production plants generally have harsh environments, and TCDRI has helped build cement plants globally, encountering various environmental challenges. For example, they are building cement plants in the Caucasus region of Russia, where the winter ambient temperature can reach -45 ℃ and the summer temperature is around 20 ℃.

The Secus metal detection machine from Intico provides excellent protection for our downstream equipment, especially in improving production efficiency and reducing maintenance costs

Metals in raw materials can wear down downstream equipment, causing machine crashes

The Secus metal detector can operate without error within such a temperature range. Secus ® Provide self-learning functionality to monitor products, and the system can compensate for product effects as environmental conditions change. Therefore, regardless of the environment, Secus ® Metal detection machines can safely detect metal foreign objects in raw materials. Regardless of low temperatures, strong winds, personnel movement, or vibration interference, Secus can find metal foreign objects without false alarms. The moisture content and other characteristics of the raw materials will not interfere with the accurate detection of Secus. This brings multiple benefits to TCDRI:

Since TCDRI equipped the client's cement plant with the Anteco Secus metal detection machine, it has received the client's * evaluation. According to TCDRI's statistics, after using the Secus metal detector, the downstream vertical grinding life of its customers has increased by an average of over 110%. Not only has the lifespan of the equipment been improved, but production downtime has also been avoided, reducing the direct and indirect costs of customer production.
