Maximum output and minimum input – this definition of efficiency also applies to centrifugals.
For BMA it means having to find the perfect balance between throughput and availability on the one
hand, and investment and maintenance costs and the need for parts on the other.

Machines and automation from a single source

Based on a tried and tested PLC, BMA’s own automation system,

designed specifically for this application, perfectly meets sugar
centrifugal requirements. A local touch panel (HMI) ensures simple
operation. The operating parameters can be set and adjusted to vary-
ing conditions. Developments in, for instance, power consumption,
vibrations or water addition are clearly displayed. Integration with a
higher-level process control system is available as an option. Triple
benefit: simple operation, process control, and reproducible results. 7” colour touchscreen
