QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR FERTILISER ARE EVER MORE DEMANDING

Adding to an online process allows efficient production.

With high standards of quality, efficient production is crucial. Faulty batches cost money. A comprehensive production process is necessary to ensure a good level of quality. The monitoring and control of an entire complex process depends on a good knowledge of the sub-processes and every process step. Here accurately measured values and rapid reaction times are essential. Modern processes make it necessary to know more than just the rough particle distribution. In addition to a fine material screening, information on the particle shape is also becoming increasingly important. These complex measured data are determined by the HAVER CPA 2-1, which uses a simple dynamic particle measurement and provides a comprehensive description of the product.

In addition to the obvious chemical requirements for fertilisers, other properties have impacts on effectiveness and quality.

For fertilisers in solid form, e.g. mineral fertilisers, also the specific surface plays an important role. Depending on this value, the fertiliser behaves differently after it is applied. Important factors here are the particle size and the macro-structure of the single grains.

The HAVER CPA offers options for a number of areas. From small laboratory instruments to customised, automatic online solutions allowing the most rapid reaction times, a broad range is available. Here not only hardware adjustments are possible, but also individual programmes and software modifications often can be offered.

In addition to the option of customisation, all necessary and many interesting features are available as standard equipment. Among them are the shape and size definitions, which allow you to optimise quality evaluations without any additional cost or work for each material. This evaluation can be very comprehensive within the software and can even take place during measurement thanks to the HAVER REAL TIME feature. Moreover it is also possible to again virtually evaluate the data anew with modified definitions and perform an individual assessment of all measured particles.

Once the application is analysed, the adaptable features of the software help to reduce the complex evaluation to just a few individual characteristic values, or to a simple limit curve. Because of intuitive user surfaces and the Windows-oriented standards, the monitoring of quality and processes with the HAVER CPA is very flexible and rapid and always remains clear for user and easy to monitor.
