Situation
• Irregularities in the sintering process
• Unutilised productivity potential
• Poor sinter quality
• High labour costs for control functions
• Operational disturbances

Solution
• Measurement of temperature and permeability directly beneath the strand
  by means of a measuring pallet
• Knowledge-based and numerical application functions and simulation models
• Control functions
• Numerical and graphical evaluation
• Material and energy balances

Benefits
• Process optimisation
• Identification of disturbances
• Homogeneous sintering
• Improvement of productivity
• Higher sinter quality
• Reduction of labour costs
• Optimisation of the operating point
