CB Omni* CrossBelt Online Elemental Analyzer

One of the most popular uses of crossbelt online analysis systems is to monitor and control stockpile chemistry to meet quality targets, thus ensuring smooth kiln operation and providing flexibility in quarry operations. Whether the stockpile is longitudinal or circular, the CB Omni allows the cement producer to achieve consistent stockpiles, with minimal variations within and between piles. For stockpile management, the CB Omni system can be coupled with process control software to monitor and control the chemistry of the pre-blending stockpiles.

Raw Mix Proportioning Control

A primary determinant of kiln efficiency is the quality and uniformity of the raw material feed ("kiln feed" or "raw meal"). Maintaining kiln feed at quality specification with minimal deviation is a function of how precise, accurate and quickly the raw mix proportioning circuit can be controlled. Located downstream of the last raw mix component addition, a CB Omni system provides the precise control needed to minimize raw mix variability and keep it at quality specification while at the same time minimizing raw material costs and satisfying multiple quality control targets.
