VAiron Pelletizing Optimizer

The VAiron Pelletizing Optimizer is a process optimization tool for pelletizing plants. It enhances operating efficiency, ensures consistent production quality, and reduces production costs. This is achieved by increasing productivity, standardizing green ball formation, and maintaining consistent product quality across shifts. The Optimizer features a closed-loop expert system for automated operation, sophisticated process models, artificial intelligence, and a digital twin for process simulation and optimization.

The VAiron Pelletizing Optimizer manages the raw material mix, grinding, balling, and induration process. It tracks material flow through the plant and monitors the impact of all input material parameters and process conditions on product quality and productivity.

Advanced process control models provide comprehensive information about the different steps, while a digital twin of the induration allows for pelletizing process simulation. This information is used by the Expert System to diagnose and optimize process conditions, leading to standardized control and 24/7 best-practice operation. As a result, it stabilizes product quality fluctuations, reduces energy consumption and operating costs, and eliminates undesired process conditions and inefficiencies. By maximizing production while meeting quality goals, it ensures optimal performance.
