An optional data acquisition package is now available from Union Process, Inc. that can assist with monitoring conditions in the mill, improve quality control and provide an easier method to perform test comparisons. The software package is designed to interface with the Baldor VS1SP variable frequency drive, which is standard on most Union Process attritors sold in the U.S.

The optional data acquisition software package allows customers to monitor a number of parameters, including voltage to the motor, motor current in amps, motor absolute speed in rpm, reference speed in hertz, agitator rpms and more.

“Monitoring data in real-time allows our customers to quickly identify changing conditions inside the mill such as an increase in viscosity, differences in media loading, caking of the material and potential arm wear,” said Bob Schilling, sales engineer for Union Process. “In addition, having a continuous log can be helpful, especially in a research or lab environment, for comparing results of various process runs.”
