The primary objective
was to prevent the danger of explosions and material losses during the milling
process, i.e. flour production.
An innovative solution was needed to
detect the source of fire at a very early stage.
Implementation of an advanced early warning system, which detects
extremely low levels of carbon monoxide to identify fire or dust explosion
risks before they can cause any damage.
The technical solution is based on a comprehensive gas analysis system that
provides immediate alerts when CO levels rise above threshold values, allowing plant operators to verify them without production interruption.
Products
involved:
ULTRAMAT analyzers for highly accurate CO measurement.
SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers for reliable real-time monitoring and
communication.
SIMATIC HMI Panel interface for intuitive and comprehensive control.
“Adoption of
these protective measures contributed to optimization of the insurance premiums,
which could save the company a lot of money every year.”
