Solids flow monitor (SFM):January 25, 2016 Mukan , Manish

Solids flow monitor is devices which use to determine the flow of solid particles in FBD. When
the FBD bag is broken the sfm detector is detected the particles and stop the FBD.
The principal on which broken bag (or sieve) detector works is as follows. When the drug is
being dried in the FBD, product losses often occur due to ruptured filter bags. Significant
product losses can occur by the time the filter bag rupture is detected and the FBD is stopped.
The Broken Bag Detector is used along with the FBD for preventing product losses due to
ruptured filter bags (or broken sieves) by immediately sensing the leakage and stopping the FBD
motor.
SFM can also serve as an early warning system indicating possible failure of bag in the near
future by detecting higher emission levels enabling the bag to be replaced in time. This is
possible by using an analog output (optional feature) which would be proportional to the mass
flow of solids / particulates. This analog signal can be connected to an alarm indicator or
recorder in the control room or to the PLC of the FBD.
The broken bag detector is highly sensitive and reliable. It consists of a sensor with shielded
cable and an electronic control unit. The sensor is a rod made up of 316 stainless steel with
Teflon insulator. The sensor is installed in the duct of the FBD.
When the leakage of the product takes place through the ruptured filter bags (or broken sieves),
the product strikes the sensor. This results in the generation of an analog electric signal directly
proportional to the mass flow of the colliding solid particles. This signal is then conditioned,
amplified & processed through sophisticated electronic circuitry and then used to give an alarm
and finally to stop the motor of the FBD thereby preventing product losses.
The only device based upon direct measurement of quantity of solids/ particulates

Co Mill is used for Dry and Wet Milling/Size reduction of wide range of products. Its suitable
for standalone as well as online milling.
Benefits & Highlights

Low speed design allowing for inherently gentle action on the product resulting in optimum
particle granularity, low heat, low noise, minimal fines and consistent, high quality end product
can be used on heat sensitive products, high capacities, fully customizable to many different
application and process stream
Advantages as compared to other Milling Equipment
The output of co mill is near to the size of sieve used approx. 80%-90%,
whereas in multi mill it is 1/3 of the sieve used
The fines generated are on a lower side as compare to other mills

Heat generation in co mill is comparatively very low as it works on forced

pressure

Other mills have more of dusting as compared to co mill

Output of co mill is more than any other mills
