Stripe Detection Cockpit
Continuous monitoring of the roller coverage and detection of stripes during chocolate refining
Maximized Throughput
- Continuous optimization of roller coverage ensures consistent refining performance and higher processing efficiency.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
- Instant stripe detection allows for early intervention, minimizing wear, preventing soiling, and reducing unplanned downtime.
Improved Machine Uptime
- AI-driven parametrization and predictive maintenance capabilities keep the refiner running smoothly with fewer interruptions and less manual intervention.
Smart sensors. Smarter processes
The Stripe Detection Cockpit is an advanced optical monitoring and control system designed to ensure optimal roller coverage and early stripe detection in the Heidenauer FRF Fine Refiner during chocolate processing. It enhances operational safety, maximizes throughput, and reduces maintenance needs through continuous, real-time monitoring and AI-driven optimization.
By digitally recognizing stripe formation and visualizing roller conditions in the control room, the system automatically adjusts differential speed, roll temperature, and pressure between the rolls. It also supports automated knife exchange and AI-driven machine parametrization for simplified operation.
