Heat is required for a wide range of applications. Hot air blowers pre-temper frozen goods in the food industry. Drying systems are used in many industries, and are an important component of consistent product quality. Varnishing furnishes reduce the drying times of surface coatings. Finally, high-temperature processes in annealing furnaces change material properties, from metals to ceramics.
All of these processes have one thing in common: they are sensitive to faults. Because of this, a process control system for these applications cannot just stubbornly follow a program, as is the case for CNC machining systems, for instance.
A process controller for heat treatment processes needs to be able to take a large number of parameters into account. Temperature, time, wall thickness, and material are just four examples. Insufficient tempering can result in poorer quality, as can excessive heat or too much exposure time. In the past, a specialist technician was needed on the system to manually monitor the process controller. Now, the process control system from Demig allows the system to run with the minimum number of specialist personnel.
