PMP compact

Particulate  Materials  Processing

   
Description options for disperse solid systems and processes of the mechanical process engineering are substantial. PMP provides a combination of the following software modules for preparing information: 

PMP ParSize

PMP-ParSize is the base module, which serves to collect, visualize, edit and evaluate fineness information about particle material systems. The basis for describing the fineness forms the Particle Size Distribution. The discretisation and characteristics of the distribution can be adjusted arbitrarily. Impressive presentations help to identify essentials.  Our software enables
bullet

to display many different views of the particle size distribution

bullet

to effect changes of the particle size sequence

bullet

to apply characteristic values according to DIN ISO 9276

bullet

functional approaches 

bullet

evaluation of experimental series

A summary of data in the projects allows a problem-oriented administration of all information.

PMP ParSize  Plus

In ParSize Plus, some useful problem solutions will be supported:
bullet

linking particle size distributions of different size ranges

bullet

presentation of particle size distribution concerning different kinds of quantity

bullet

statistics: comparisons and mean values of particle size distributions

bullet

PSD Synthesis: calculation of complete particle size distributions from different fineness values

bullet

calibrating and revalidating particle size distributions

PMP Mix n

Mixing recipe
Calculation of ideal mixing proportions of given components, in order to reach a target fineness the best way possible over the entire particle size area. Any number of components can be used.

PMP Addition

PMP TGM

Table- and Graphic Manager (TGM)
The TG-Manager administrates the different views of data. The information can be presented in graphical, tabular and flow sheet displays, which will be filed permanently. Important presentations can be protected.

PMP RG

Report Generator
The report generator serves to design print pages. In order to cope with different demands, all views of the TGM can be placed on one page, the size can be adjusted and they can be equipped with a corresponding comment. Several report pages can be administrated in the TGM.  

PMP Interface

PMP supports the transfer of different data:
bullet

particle size distributions

bullet

material-,  surface-, potential-, compliant measuring data (amongst others)

bullet

process- and operating data 

from measurement devices, data entry- and calculation programs (MS Excel ® and others) 

PMP  AC

Administration of Characteristics
The module enables to record measurement- and influencing values:
bullet

machine parameters

bullet

material properties

bullet

operating conditions

Coherences between all characteristic values can be created easily and presented in a persuasive manner.

                       

PMP FG

Formula Generator
The formula generator serves to formulate functional coherences between characteristic values. This tool is appropriate to take up known and approved correlations between different characteristic values and to make them available for the entire system. The functions can be calculated in all situations in the same way.

PMP Classification

The modules embrace methods for describing, evaluating and optimising classification processes in different levels of detailedness. 

PMP Class 10

Description of classification conditions
The module PMP Class 10 enables to comprehensively evaluate experimental investigations on classification machines. The tromp curve and characteristic values (cut size, bypass value,...) can be calculated by different balance methods. The particle size distribution of fine and coarse products can be predicted by the tromp curve.

PMP Class 20

Comparable descriptions of classification conditions
The module class 20 provides methods for calculating the reduced standardized tromp curve (bypass reduction; cut size standard). The standardised tromp curve is useful for comparing different operating conditions. 

PMP Class 30

Building up classification models
This module is based on Module Class 20 and allows to set up empirical models out of descriptions in different operating states. This model is based on an invariant standardized tromp curve and a  characteristic function of bypass and cut size. Proceeding is general and can be applied for different classifiers such as screens, sieves, air- and hydro cyclones,...  The model can also be built up from experimental investigations and experiences. The particle size distribution of the classification results can be predicted under changed influencing conditions.

PMP Comminution

These modules embrace methods for describing, evaluating and optimizing comminution processes with different approaches. All models are based on the same interfaces, in order to simply check different approaches on experimental investigations.

PMP Mill 10

Description of particle concentration curve
This module serves for describing comminution processes in analogy to the description of classification processes. In this case, the particle concentration curve is the characteristic curve. The particle concentration curve presents the proportion  of the density function of grinding product and feed. This procedure is limited to processes with relative small comminution progress and is generalized in the module Mill 20.

PMP Mill 20

Description of relative particle concentration curve
Module Mill 20 enables to evaluate experimental investigations on grinding machines based on the description of a comminution ratio and the relative particle concentration ratio regarding one particle size. The particle concentration curve presents the proportion  of the standardized density function of grinding product and feed and can be calculated by experimental data. Contrary, the particle size distribution of grinding products can be predicted by this description. 

PMP Mill 30
Building up grinding models 
Empirical models can be formulated corresponding to the influence values with this module. This model is based on an invariant relative particle concentration curve and a characteristic function by reduction ratio (regarding one particle size).Proceeding is general and can be used for different grinding machines. The model can be built up from experimental investigations and experiences. The particle size distribution of the grinding results can be predicted under modified influencing conditions.    

PMP Mill 40

Model based on Bond
This module supports calculating the comminution progress according to Bond. The methodology is extended under assumption of an invariant relative particle concentration curve, so that complete distributions of grinding products can be displayed. 

PMP Mill  21

Description of standardized particle concentration ratio  
Experimental investigations on grinding machines can be evaluated extensively by the standardized particle concentration curve and the reduction ratio regarding two particle sizes. The standardized particle concentration curve presents the proportion  of the transformed density function of grinding product and feed and can be calculated by experimental data. Contrary, the particle size distribution of grinding products can be predicted by this description. 

PMP Mill 31

 
Model based on the standardized particle concentration ratio
This module serves for formulating empirical models corresponding to the influence values. This model is based on an invariant relative particle concentration curve and a characteristic function by reduction ratio (regarding one particle size). The proceeding is general and can be applied for different grinding machines - crusher -impact mills - jet mills. The model can also be built up from experimental investigations and experiences. The particle size distribution of the grinding results can be predicted under changed influence conditions.    
This module generalizes the options for describing the comminution by means of the relative particle concentration ratio and can be applied in a wider range. Limits can be checked easily.

Describing Tumbling Mills
The model PMP Mill 13 is based on the cumulative kinetics 1st order and allows to include machine parameters via the input power directly into the model. This procedure delivers very good results on describing the operating behaviour and the scale-up of tumbling mills. This model can be established from comparable investigations and transferred to industrial operating conditions:

PMP Mill 14

Describing Ball Mills 
PMP-Mill 14 is based on the module Mill 13 and offers additional methods and displays for documenting, comparing and calculating ball size compositions.
