The Project
The dynamic flow of material through the batch weighing system was modelled to allow an optimised program to be developed. This then allowed throughput increases to be achieved with no changes to the physical system. This dynamic model was used for 6 separate bulk sugar terminals (Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Bundaberg, Lucinda and Mourilyan).
Results
- Increase of terminal throughput capability of at least 22.5% for all 6 terminals.
