TRACE MODE Based Control System for Cement Production: Pay-Back in ... 1,7 Months, Net Profit 600%
|
 The "Nevyansky tsementnik" company (Russia) is the oldest cement factory in the Urals, which had been operating since the year of 1914. However today the "Nevyansky tsementnik" is one of the Russia's most technically advanced enterprises of this branch of industry with a complete cycle of the production of cement using the dry method. In terms of the volumes of production in the Urals region, the enterprise ranks the third place. In the all-Russian rating it has been assigned the 18th place.
Actually on the main objects of the technological line constituted by the rotating furnace and the refrigerator, a 500 I/O large TRACE MODE 5 based control system was implemented.
 According to the technical director of the factory, the implementation of the control system resulted in stabilization of the technological process, providing an increase of hourly production efficiency of the rotating furnace from 115 ton/hour, up to 125 ton/hour (+ 8.7%). The half of such a success is attributed to the SCADA/HMI TRACE MODE 5 based control system effect.
As a result, the initial investment of $ 42.500 approx. made by the cement plant, according to Mr. N.Yu. Egorov, Deputy Superintendent of the Shop for control systems, led to the savings during the first year equal to $ 89100. The return on each dollar, invested into the TRACE MODE SCADA/HMI amounts to 6 dollars of the net profit (606.23%)! The pay-back period of the project - 1.7 months.
"With TRACE MODE implementation we got a positive experience" - says Mr. Egorov - "Now we plan to closely co-operate with AdAstra further for applications of such a convenient and reliable software". |
