Technology Upgradation Process & Operation PROCESS OPTIMIZATION FOR ECOLOGICALLY INCREASING PLANT PERFORMANCE With the LM_Master, Loesche Automation/Dusseldorf has introduced into its product portfolio a new product for increasing performance and for supporting the operators of Loesche ve rtical mills. The LM Master provides fully automatic control of the grinding process and continuously optimizes regular plant operation. Online optimization is achieved through precise depiction of the processes and increases throughput, energy efficiency and availability. The most important component in putting such a project into practice is the knowledge of all aspects of the process. Loesche has the necessary experience and the know-how from a diverse range of fields such as, for example, automation, commissioning and servicing, design, and research and development. This knowledge makes it possible to create models which reflect the process as accurately as possible in order to be able to derive the necessary calculations from them. These calculations show the future plant status with the aid of historic data and current process values, manipulated variables and disturbance variables. 1 Better performance with fully automatic control 19
