Particulate Emission Monitoring
Solutions
for the Tobacco Industry
Cutting and Milling
To monitor the low emission levels from cutting and milling filters
(typically less than 3 mg/m3) ElectroDynamic™ Probe Electrification systems are preferred. Employing a patented
non-contact charge transfer technology ElectroDynamic™ Probe Electrificationinstruments, unlike traditional Triboelectric
units, are unaffected by contamination of the sensor rod and are
virtually maintenance free. [top]
Drying and
Flavouring
As a result of the high levels of humidity found in drying and
flavouring processes Cyclones are often used as their main type of
filtration. To overcome the problems associated with traditional
monitoring technologies caused by moist particulate de-sensitising and
ultimately short-circuiting the sensor, PCME supply a patented fully
insulated probe. This unique industry proven sensor is successfully
used in thousands of moist and damp installations worldwide. [top]
Blending and
Mixing
Filters employing ElectroDynamic™ Probe Electrification sensors
can be continuously observed via an Ethernet connection to determine
the deterioration of filter elements. These systems provide a proven
method of not only reducing total particulate emissions but also allow
the instigation of preventative maintenance programs thereby reducing
the costs associated lost production caused by unplanned stoppages. [top]
Tobacco
Transfer Lines
The uninterrupted transfer of tobacco via pneumatic transfer lines to
and from cigarette machines is critical in maintaining the required
production levels of cigarettes and cigars. The capability of
advanced ElectroDynamic™ Probe Electrification
monitoring systems to warn of increasing emission trends and to
accurately indicate which filter row within a bag house is under
performing can rapidly effect pay back of the instrument and provide
ongoing cost savings. [top]
