Cemtec Integrates Sensors for Milling Operations

Cemtec, a specialist provider of grinding technologies for the mining, mineral and cement industries, is using Insitec real-time particle sizing technology from Malvern Instruments for the control of dry milling at its extensive pilot plant facility.

“Increasingly customers are looking for us to provide turnkey, often automated, milling circuits, rather than a stand-alone mill,” said Mr Plochberger, Head of R&D and Process Technology at Cemtec (Enns, Austria). “Timely particle size measurement is vital for efficient mill control which is why we wanted to be able to integrate a trusted sensor within our processing solutions. Insitec is extremely reliable and enables us to provide milling plant for both wet and dry processing that efficiently meets customer goals for premium product quality and low energy consumption.”

Cemtec manages milling and grinding projects from start to finish, from assessing the grindability of a feed through to commissioning the constructed plant . “Insitec” he added, “allows us to quantify differences in grindability, supports the development of an effective processing solution for any given material and improves the efficiency of our toll manufacturing, which is often a precursor to customer investment.”
