AIAC = Automatic Control System for Granulating Line and Granulator
The human mind reacts in a fraction of a second, but diagnosing the event and making the right decision will take another few seconds full of emotions. Interaction with the control computer is an additional time, after which in most cases it is too late to maintain the continuity of production. 2, 3 seconds of engine overload are enough to block the matrix.
In comparison, a computer with the IRSC system analyzes data from the entire granulation line 200 times per second. The advanced system makes decisions within 50 ms. The total time needed to issue commands to devices and for devices to respond to commands is less than 0.5 sec. In the vast majority of cases, it prevents production from stopping, reacting in the most appropriate way. In addition, after an event, IRSC analyzes the collected data and makes a decision to correct the settings to avoid a similar situation during further production. This translates into an increase in annual efficiency by 2-5%.
Developed by NPT since 2002, the original AIAC (Automintel Automatic Control) granulator control system significantly increases the efficiency and productivity of the granulator and granulation unit (granulation line), through advanced intelligent software that manages the operation of the granulator or production line. Individual control programs are responsible for all granulator units and react appropriately in the event of any deviation from the standard programmed values. Integration of AIAC with mechanical solutions reduces the costs of consumables, changeover costs and the costs of momentary load instability.
Intelligent Pellet Mill Operator IPMO
A proprietary program created in cooperation with Automintel - is intended to replace the operator's experience. Granulation of raw materials - especially those that change, requires an experienced operator. Some gain experience in just one year. Others need many years of training. An experienced pellet mill operator is a valued and often irreplaceable employee.
The IPMO system has been equipped with the experience of many engineers to serve throughout the entire period of operation. Our Intelligent Pellet Mill Operator knows how to run in a new die, rollers, how to recognize the raw material, what temperature to choose, how to work on a cold and heated die, how to quickly achieve the best efficiency and without unnecessary risk. Our software knows how to react to hundreds of emerging problems and events.
Active Capacity Optimisation System ACOS
This is another system cooperating with the AFR system, whose task is to constantly monitor optimal efficiency. In biomass production, the program automatically selects the operating parameters of feeders and additional components, with constantly changing raw materials. In feed production, ACOS optimizes the supply of steam and water to achieve the process temperatures resulting from the recipe.
The system handles the operation of a cold granulator, selects the start parameters itself and responds to any load fluctuations in the granulator engines. If the situation requires it, it will stop the devices, clean them, check their clogging, and then safely start again to achieve optimal efficiency in the shortest possible time. After the raw material is exhausted, it will recognize idle movement and protect the granulator from wear or prepare the line for another, soft start.
Automatic Feedstock Recognition AFR
A program integrated with automatic regulation systems, the task of which is to recognize the raw material in terms of the so-called granulation difficulty, recognize changes in the raw material - even continuous ones, as is the case with biomass granulation, recognize new rollers, matrix and changes in mechanical settings.
ASAFE Automatic Protection System
Granulators manufactured by industry leaders have a set of sensors and transducers that - when properly interpreted - affect the service life and safety of use. The ASAFE system will make an error-free decision in a fraction of a second, after receiving information from the sensors about the improper condition of the device or a threat. Systems of this type are required elements of automation if the manufacturer of the device is to accept the warranty.

ASBS Automatic Anti-Slip Drive Belt System
Protection of drive belts against slippage by a physical speed sensor integrated with the AIAC system. In addition, it allows for safe and controlled achievement of the maximum possible efficiency. The operator can experiment with the raw material and manually increase the load on the granulator to a value higher than the threshold parameters specified in the automation. This can increase annual production by up to 2% - 4%. This translates into additional thousands of tons, your specific profit and a faster return on investment.
Intelligent Roller Slippery Control IRSC
An active system designed to quickly detect and eliminate deviations and downtime related to roller slippage. A system that cannot be replaced by even the best granulator operators. The operator's experience - even many years and with full commitment to the work performed, does not make a person faster in reactions than the integrated IRSC system.
Intelligent Roller Adjustment System IRAS
This is a system built on mathematical models to ensure the optimization of the roller setting in relation to the matrix for each raw material, regardless of the so-called "difficulty" of granulation. The task of the system is also to ensure the longest possible service life of the matrix and rollers.
The system will adjust during operation, at full load or in free time. This is one of those systems that takes the greatest care of the manufacturer's pocket and frees from "human factor" errors. IRAS is part of the ARGAS system (Automatic Roller Gap Adjustment System).
APRIO Management Priority Integrator
A proprietary model for designing production line control software that assumes the priority of importance for each order issued to executive devices.
A system necessary for conflict-free cooperation between man and machine. Since the daily work of a production line involves issuing hundreds of orders, it often happens that the decision-maker conflicts
