Invested nearly USD 14,500,000, the intelligent workshop of Huaxiang Refractories enables full-process intelligent control of the refractory production line. The automation and networking rate of the equipment are both 100%. It has raised the annual production capacity to 120,000 tons. Its three core processes are collaboratively managed by DCS and MES systems, with a 100% rate of automatic data collection and control.
1. Intelligent Process
• Crushing and powder production: DCS system controls automation equipment to crush and grind raw materials into qualified powder.
• Feeding and batching: Customize DCS system to control the material bin, achieve automatic material blending, and environmentally friendly treatment of dust and exhaust gas.
• Automated production: AGV+robotic arm transfer palletizing, automatic packaging after high-precision pressing and intelligent sintering, and unmanned entire process.
2. Highlights of Intelligent Equipment
• Intelligent roller drying kiln: Continuous firing in multiple temperature zones, intelligent temperature control+MES system management, thermal insulation and energy-saving, and equipped with desulfurization and denitrification equipment, being environmentally friendly.
• Full-Automatic Hydraulic Press/Press: Precise control by PLC, ingredient accuracy up to 0.3%, production efficiency more than 4 times higher than traditional equipment, high brick qualification rate and low loss.
