The SRI Mill Control System (MCS) is designed to produce an even flow of cane through the milling tandem, to maximise throughput and maximum juice extraction while maintaining a safe level of torque produced by individual milling units.
The even blanket of bagasse through the tandem produces consistent low final bagasse moisture and high extraction.
System features
- SRI Chute Height Sensor for control of bagasse level in chutes; and
- Overload protection and control of mill drive equipment.
System benefits
- Quick response time to variations in mill load;
- Good feed control;
- Maximised extraction; and
- Consistent final bagasse moisture for improved bagasse combustion to maximise steam production.
- Torque Control to:
- Reduce mill overload conditions;
- Protect mill rolls;
- Protect tailbars;
- Protect pressure feed chutes; and
- Prolong gearing life.
