Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for forming measurement samples from a bulk material flow, in particular food and feed, for the purpose of determining one or more material parameters, such as protein content, moisture, color, ash, granulation etc., a first of the bulk material flow Partial flow derived and this is combined again with the bulk material flow.
- material parameters such as protein content, moisture, color, ash, granulation etc.
- a second key problem lies in the fact that, although it is recognized that very precise measurement results can be obtained in the laboratory, the laboratory itself has almost no influence on whether the measurement sample is representative of the product stream, possibly for an entire product batch.
- a device is known in which the product stream is run over a weighing system to form the measurement sample, so as to form the size of the sample from the current product stream. If a measurement sample of a few percent is taken from a current division using such a system, e.g. B. from less than 10 or less than 2% of the product stream, strong segregation must be expected, since an edge layer of the free-falling product stream is then preferably detected. Experience has shown that this differs greatly from the average of the bulk material.
- the FR-PS 2 345 720 proposes to form the measurement sample by only briefly releasing a by-pass channel.
- the flap mechanism required for this also results in a disturbance to the product flow, so that segregation and fluctuating product removal time, depending on the size of the current throughput in the main line, also lead to falsified measurement samples and correspondingly falsified measurement values.
- the moisture measurement method described in DE-OS 3 441 856 is used for floury goods.
- the measured material is guided through a measuring channel via a by-pass channel to determine water content, protein, etc.
- the measurement itself is carried out using infrared light. The light emitted back from a sample surface is sighted and the respective water content is calculated from it.
- the invention now encompasses the task of forming samples, preferably very small samples, from a continuous flow of bulk material in such a way that the measurement sample can be used as representatively as possible for the flow of bulk material and can be used directly without great delay, if possible online and in calibration time.
- the above object is achieved in the generic method mentioned in the introduction in that the first partial flow or a further partial flow derived therefrom is backed up at least temporarily, a small percentage of the backed up partial stream is at least partially continuously taken as a measurement sample and this measurement sample is then determined by a corresponding one to determine the material parameters Measuring device is guided.
- this object is achieved by one or more flow dividers for dividing the bulk material flow into a main flow and one or more partial flows, by return means for returning at least the first partial flow to the main flow, by a measurement sample flow divider for taking a Measurement sample from the lowest partial flow, and by means of first backflow means for at least temporarily backflow of the smallest partial flow in the area of the measurement sample flow division.
- the idea on which the measuring device according to EP-PS 43 137 is based gives very advantageous results if the essential part of the corresponding measuring device, instead of being the measuring device itself, is taken as a secondary or partial flow in EP-PS 43 137 and from it a measurement sample is derived.
- the actual measurement sample occurs with a very small time delay and shows almost no segregation in the case of small samples of a few percent or per thousand. It is particularly important that the measurement sample formation takes place in the backwater. It has been shown that the behavior of a segregation inherent in the bulk goods can be switched off with sufficient certainty. Complicated mechanisms for obtaining many measurement samples and remixing are no longer an imperative.
- the flow property is influenced in the favorable sense by the jam of the goods; the bulk material behaves similar to a liquid in a traffic jam and is not subject to the air vortex disturbances of free bulk material fall.
- the bulk material behaves similar to a liquid in a traffic jam and is not subject to the air vortex disturbances of free bulk material fall.
- different particles move towards each other at different speeds. These relative particle velocities can arise from the difference in the specific weight, the shape, the surface air resistance etc. of the individual particles.
- the relevant backflow reduces the relative movements of the particles to one another to the extent that they are negligible for the measurement purposes required here. In other words, the different particles move only negligibly against each other. As a result, the segregation effects, more generally the sample falsifications, are reduced to a negligible level.
- the invention allows a whole series of further advantageous configurations.
- the measurement sample is preferably removed via a conveyor element, preferably a screw or a pneumatic cylinder, which works from the backflow area of the secondary flow, the product quantity of the measurement sample being able to be adjusted by varying the discharge capacity of the conveyor element; this also gives a quasi a "sample” from the "sample”.
- a conveyor element preferably a screw or a pneumatic cylinder
- measuring methods such as NMR, (nuclear magnetic resonance) and NIR (near infrared), which due to the special measuring technology allow only the smallest measuring samples.
- the size of the measurement sample is a decisive criterion for the accuracy of the measurement result in relation to the entire product quantity.
- the laboratory raw materials are preferred to check the raw materials and then the finished products. Only the ever increasing automation of production made it necessary to examine intermediate products during processing for their ingredients, for example to make the necessary changes to the manufacturing parameters.
- the percentage water content of a bulk material is particularly suitable for NMR measurement.
- the signal received is a direct measure of the number of hydrogen nuclei.
- H sporadic measurements
- Measurements at comparatively large intervals are brought to a standstill in the measuring device. If, on the other hand, the time interval between the individual measurements is short or even negligible compared to the dwell time of the sample in the measuring device, it is not necessary to stop the measuring sample, the measuring sample is preferably carried out continuously by the measuring device.
- Grain and flour products are usually still living in the mill area. Most of the grains are germinable. Many essential life processes still take place in the flour or within the individual protein bodies, e.g. B. breathing. As a result, the detection of the Water is faced with the entire microbiological and physical processes within the product mass, the water being known to form very different bonds.
- the NMR method can be used to determine representative values after only a short calibration.
- the same calibration could be used for all average wheat varieties without measuring deviations being ascertainable, the measuring accuracy being plus / minus 0.2% even for personnel not trained in NMR technology; therefore all types of products can be measured with the same basic measuring method.
- the NMR method has also proven to be insensitive to changes in bulk density, since the mass of the material to be measured can also be recorded using the resonance method and the calculation of the percentage of moisture can be included.
- a calibration sample can be entered into the measuring device and the device can be designed for self-calibration by means of appropriate electronic evaluation and computing means.
- the standard method for flour control namely the direct comparison of a sample with a sample from the production process can now be used analogously for the measurement of moisture.
- a pattern for reading in the calibration values is entered, on which the entire production is then based.
- the percentage water content of the grain is preferably determined twice using the same device, namely before and after wetting, preferably using the NMR or NIR method.
- the same device namely before and after wetting
- dry grains are conveyed through the measuring device for a few seconds without water.
- the water addition is calculated, adjusted and a few seconds later the wetting is checked in the same way.
- the solution according to the invention also includes that a further partial flow can be derived from the first partial flow and the measurement sample is then taken from this.
- the further partial flow is preferably formed from the backflow section of the partial flow immediately preceding it. This principle can be continued when further partial flows are formed.
- the further partial flow taken from a partial flow contains only the smallest quantities of bulk material
- the further partial flow is fed to a mixer, mixed there and the measurement sample "is taken from the partial flow homogenized thereby.
- This measuring method makes it possible to extract the smallest quantities of bulk material over a long period of time Bulk material flow or a preceding partial flow continuously and then in the mixer to produce a representative cross-section of the bulk material flow and its possible fluctuations in time, including different particle occupations during the time Mixer can be controlled to the measuring device.
- the first partial flow is preferably also taken from the bulk material flow in a storage area, preferably according to the overflow principle.
- the bulk material stream for forming the first partial stream and the remaining bulk material stream hereinafter also called the main stream, is preferably referred to the loading led the first part of the stream.
- the bulk material flow fraction, ie the main flow not taken up by the first partial flow overflows, so to speak, from the vessel or the area of the first partial flow.
- a flow scale based on the Buhler principle is preferably used to form one or more or even all of the partial flows.
- the backflow for partial flow formation can also be carried out with this balance.
- the throughput of the partial stream or streams is also recorded with it.
- Such a scale is described, for example, in European patent applications 84 111 967.0; 86 902 385.3 and 86 901 871. To avoid repetition, we hereby expressly refer to the content of the European patent applications.
- the formation and the backflow of the partial flow or flows on the one hand and its flow rate detection on the other hand is preferably carried out at least partially simultaneously; preferably synchronous and continuous.
- the partial flow or flows are continuously formed and backed up by means of the balance and the throughput of the partial flows is determined in batch operation.
- the invention also encompasses a method for monitoring the production of foodstuffs, preferably from cereals, in which the material parameters for food production are determined at process-critical points, and material parameters determined in this way are prepared for simultaneous display and comparison with a setpoint value scheme.
