LumaStream

Real Time Process Measurement and Optimization

Analytics play a crucial role in the process control of cement production. By analyzing the composition and quality manufacturers can ensure the consistency and efficiency of their production processes. This data-driven approach allows for real-time adjustments to be made, optimizing the overall quality of the final product.

Our LumaStream at-line analyser delivers minute values for process control for elemental as well as phase analysis. This allows for real-time measurements comparable to XRF/XRD.

Our patented long-wave infrared technology delivers fast and reliable, hardzard free, results suitable for excellent on-target control.

LumaAPC

Advanced Process Control Solutions

By optimizing processes, resources can be saved, emissions reduced and the quality of products increased.
