EYE-ON-PELLET: Online Pellet Size Analyzer for Iron Ore Pelletization Industries

The system can estimate the size of iron ore pellets at a pelletization disc during its formation and provide size distribution data in real time which is displayed, transmitted and stored. This helps for online control, parameter optimization and post analysis so that the pelletization discs can be operated to achieve maximum productivity with reduced recycling.

The online monitoring system (EYE-ON-PELLET) is an aid to iron ore pelletization industries.

Pelletization industries use disc pelletizers to produce pellets of different sizes. However, there is a need of producing pellets of a desired size range, such as 8-18 mm. There is also a need to produce higher percentage pellets in a particular sub size range, such as among 8-18 mm, may be 70% in the range of 8-12 mm (customer requirement).

Currently, the productivity of a pelletization plant depends mostly on an experienced supervisor/operator who has to keep eye on multiple disc pelletizers at a time. This leads to sub-optimal performance.

Eye-On-Pellet system helps for online control, parameter optimization and post analysis so that the pelletization discs can be operated to achieve maximum productivity with reduced recycling.

• The system is plug and play type and has quick installation time
• Non-invasive and cost effective method of size analysis
• Indigenously designed and developed and can be customized based on clients need
• Helps for timely control of RPM/water/feed-rate
• Helps in parameter optimization for a new type ore
• Reduces the recycling load & enhances plant productivity
• The size distribution data recording and transmission
        Locally displayed (for onsite operator)
        Transmitted and stored (for control room)
        Post Analysis Report day wise or hour wise (higher officials or R&D team)
