Rembe CO.Pilot: A Safety Investment that Pays Off
Typical explosion protection systems address occupational safety concerns. They can contain explosions, limit blasts, and prevent the spread of fire and additional explosions. But what if they could also safeguard your business, your employees, and even increase performance? The Rembe CO.Pilot detects carbon monoxide to prevent fires or explosions and can even improve the efficiency of drying operations. It is truly a safety investment that pays off.
Challenges of the Drying Process
One common problem is product build-up within the process. Cauliflower-like deposits commonly occur on nozzles during processes. Deposits can also occur in the cone of the dryer, in fluid beds, cyclones, and in conveying lines. These typically develop due to poor flowability or adhesive medias. These build-up deposits can be exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time. This results in a risk of self-ignition.
Another issue is the instability of the drying process due to fluctuations in the intake air humidity. Without reliable humidity measurements, it is difficult to account for environmental effects on the drying process. This results in process inefficiency and inconsistent product quality.
The Drying Process and the Maillard Reaction
A Maillard Reaction, if you’re not familiar, is a reaction that can lead to self-ignition in dryers. It involves the interaction of amino acids, sugars, and water that leads to browning. This reaction can lead to overheated powder up to the onset of smoldering. If this product contains ingredients that can be oxidized (such as fats) it will produce CO. If the product builds up, reaction rates can become significant.
CO.Pilot: A Safety Investment that Pays Off
By focusing on precise CO detection, the Rembe CO.Pilot addresses critical risks, such as self-ignition from the Maillard reaction. Early CO detection allows for prompt intervention, preventing potential fires or explosions and ensuring a stable drying environment.
Challenges like product residue buildup and fluctuating humidity levels can compromise process stability. The CO.Pilot effectively manages these risks by providing real-time CO and H2O measurements, which work in tandem to control and maintain consistent drying conditions. And by supplying you with humidity measurements, you can improve the efficiency of drying operations and the consistency of product quality.
There are many types of dryers, but ultimately all of them make a dry product from a wet product. The CO.Pilot’s advanced CO detection system improves safety, boosts process stability, and enhances overall drying efficiency. It is the world’s first safety tool with a true ROI and an improvement towards reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective industrial operations.
