Safety and control systems for the milling industry
Safe and controlled processes in every phase
We develop safety and control systems for the milling industry designed to monitor level, temperature, speed, and process status in production lines for flours, granulates, and powdery products. We calibrate sensors and controllers to maintain operational stability and ensure immediate incident detection.
At Balaguer Components, we configure each solution according to the technical and regulatory requirements of the food sector.
Level detectors and controllers in silos and hoppers
We supply controllers designed to work in milling industry silos and hoppers, where level detection determines the flow and continuity of the process.
Our FDF rotary controllers operate via a motor-driven paddle. When the material blocks the rotation, the equipment detects the level. This system works with products such as flours, granulates, or powders, in density ranges from 0.01 to 2 t/m³, without requiring adjustment for variations in moisture or grain size. It allows for lateral or vertical mounting and supports extensions of up to 10 meters.
We complete the range with pressure and displacement systems, adjusted to different material behaviors. These solutions allow for the detection of maximum or minimum levels in products with different densities and grain sizes, maintaining reliability under continuous working conditions.
We design ATEX zone-compliant systems with certified materials for food industry contact, ensuring compliance in environments with dust explosion risk or sanitary requirements.
Plant process supervision and control
We integrate supervision systems to control critical parameters in milling industry processes, where continuity depends on the status of transport and storage equipment.
At Balaguer Components, we work with bearing temperature sensors based on direct measurement, belt misalignment systems using inductive detection, and speed control via shaft-mounted sensors. These devices allow for the monitoring of the actual operation of elevators, conveyors, and auxiliary equipment.
WATCHDOG type control systems integrate a screen, data storage, and remote communication, allowing for real-time installation control and incident logging for maintenance.
Bearing temperature
Belt speed
Belt and pulley alignment
Blockages and accelerations
Sensor types: diaphragm, capacitive, and tilt
We offer different technologies based on product behavior in the milling industry.
Diaphragm
Detection by direct material pressure on a flexible surface that activates a switch. Suitable for powdery and granulated products with densities between 0.3 and 2.5 t/m³.
Capacitive
Detection via electrical capacitance variation upon contact with the material. Allows for high, low, or blockage level control in fine products, without interference from dust accumulation.
Tilt
Detection by mechanical displacement upon contact with the material. Works with bulk products with particle sizes up to 100 mm and densities between 0.3 and 3 t/m³.
We define your custom safety and control system for the milling industry
We design safety and control systems for the milling industry by adjusting sensors, controllers, and monitoring based on the product, density, and working conditions.
At Balaguer Components, we configure solutions compatible with food regulations and ATEX environments to guarantee safe and continuous operation.
