Ferrari Granulati (Italy)

	"It was clear that the Insitec was a process instrument - not a modified lab analyzer. This increased our confidence in the technology" "We could not have developed the mill without Insitec, it was integral to the success of the project." "The Insitec has always worked reliably and requires minimal maintenance" "The plant now operates reliably 24/7 with minimal input, no waste and no rework" Alberto Ferrari, Production Manager, Ferrari Granulati.

Ferrari Granulati: Automated marble milling for better product quality, lower production costs

Ferrari Granulati, a market leading producer of marble granulates and powders is using in- and on-line particle size analyzers from Malvern Instruments to manufacture products of exemplary quality at competitive cost. More specifically, Ferrari Granulati has:

• Fully automated both its mill operation and an upstream sieving process, using real-time particle sizing technology. The plant now operates reliably 24/7 with minimal manual input, no waste and no rework. To see the article, click here

• Used real-time particle size data from an Insitec particle size analyzer to develop and refine the design of a highly successful, innovative milling circuit based on vertical roller mill technology. To see the article, click here

• Eliminated any need to dry the feed going to a sieve stack, by automating control on the basis of continuous particle size data from a Parsum in-line probe. This energy saving reduces production costs by around 10 to 15%. To see the article, click here
