Applications >> Control of homogeneity and mixing

Control of homogeneity and mixing

A mixing process can be imaged in three dimensions using Numcore’s products. Using the wholly new information the mixing process can be optimized using Numcore’s technology resulting in very homogenous sheet, better quality and improved runnability.

Features and Benefits

Decreased chemical consumption
Reduced energy consumption
Determination of mixing efficiency
Improved product quality
Improved mixing homogeneity and efficiency
Troubleshooting of process conditions

Application example: tackling MD variation in pulp flow

Machine direction variation may be due to imperfect storage tower, mixing tank or mass tank dilution processes. Numcore’s tomographic sensors can be used to detect consistency variations which cause MD variations.

The consistency variations and homogeneity of mass flow can be detected by measuring the outflow of the storage tower, the mixing tank and the mass tank with the CoreApus sensor.

By measuring the dilution area of the storage tower, the mixing tank and the machine tank with CoreHydra or CoreTucane, the consistency variations can be detected.

Using the measured tomographic information the stock system and dilution process can be controlled and optimized.
