OnEfficiency.DIP
OnEfficiency.DIP
OnEfficiency.DIP optimizes an existing DIP line to create constant DIP quality at minimum cost. The existing flotation is supplemented by additional actuators; new sensors are installed to monitor the quality parameters.
The DIP quality fluctuations created by incoming raw materials or production changes are reduced by dynamic adjustment of the losses at the washing/flotation as well as real-time optimization of the bleaching chemicals dosage.
