EmulTronic
Producers of emulsion around the world are glad they chose Emulsion and PMA Controls for automation and control of their plants. Based on the same platform as our successful asphalt plant automation systems, EmulTronic handles all emulsion production and storage phases with many levels of safety checks and advanced features. Sharing the graphic signature of all Minds systems, a full graphical representation of the plant allows easy understanding of complex pipe layouts. Our proven XIO-dedicated hardware powers the system behind the scenes.
Highlights
Highly Efficient, Computerized Plant Controls
EmulTronic is an advanced emulsion plant control system, modified bitumen control system, and liquid terminal control system. All functions of running a terminal or plant are handled, from unloading trucks or rail cars of raw materials to mixing and blending, storing, heating, loading out, and printing tickets of the finished product. Multi-screen operator-oriented 3D definition graphics reduce the learning curve and assist with troubleshooting. The on-screen configurable system allows multi-parameter editing without reprogramming. Easy and reliable calibration procedures ensure conformance to the most strict standards. The system can be set up with or without manual controls in parallel to the automation inputs and outputs.
