Grain milling: lower cost per tonne milled.
Pneumatic conveying fans and roller mills dominate the bill, and a fraction of a percent of extraction is worth more than most energy projects.
Where the money goes
Conveying fans
Often the largest load in a mill and rarely speed-controlled. Drives matched to demand cut power sharply.
Extraction rate
More flour from the same wheat. A daily balance of wheat in and products out shows each mill’s real extraction.
Energy per tonne
Kilowatt-hours per tonne per mill flags worn rolls and poor settings before quality complaints arrive.
What you get
One number per tonne milled
Electricity, fuel and losses rolled into cost per unit, live and by section, with hour-by-hour heatmaps that show waste outside working hours.
The right person, at once
Alarms and advice go by SMS, WhatsApp or email to whoever is responsible for that section, and escalate if nobody acknowledges.
PlantOS engineers on every shift
Our intuitive algorithm learns what normal looks like for every signal and flags abnormal events as they happen; our engineers review each section's data and send you advice and a one-page weekly report.
Questions
What does PlantOS measure in flour and grain mills?
Typically: Section energy meters, Fan drives, Intake and output scales, Moisture meters, Vibration on roller mills.
What is the usual first project?
kWh per tonne per mill and a daily extraction balance.
How are savings proven?
A baseline of energy against production is fixed before changes are made; savings are the difference between what the baseline predicts for each day's production and what was measured, in line with IPMVP Option B.
