Kumba Resources Ltd, Ferro Silicon, South Africa:

"Company’s ferrosilicon powder was subject to variations that meant a significant proportion of the production did not meet the required specifications. This led to a growing stockpile of product with no market and delays in producing product that was in demand.
Since the installation of the Insitec system, stockpiling has been eliminated, production times and costs have been reduced and the company has introduced a new product in a new size range. Insitec has become essential to plant operation.
I can't see how the plant could work without it"

Kumba Resources has reduced is production and costs, maintenance is now predicted. Production is “right first time”

Spray drying has become the most important technique for dehydrating fluid foods such as milk, coffee and egg powders, and is used extensively in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Atomization is of particular interest in the metals industry for generating fine powders. Malvern Process Systems continuous particle size analyzers have been used to:

Optimize atomizer set up
Allow spray drying control
Tighten product specifications
