Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to Real-time Torque Analysis and FFT Time-lapse Monitoring of Rubber Crumb Granulators in the Rubber Manufacturing Industry.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The Rubber Manufacturing Industry's Rubber Crumb Granulator Efficiency and Maintenance Practices are greatly enhanced by this sophisticated monitoring system. The system provides important insights into the granulators' operational behavior by continuously analyzing torque data in real-time and using the Fast Fourier Transform for time-lapse monitoring. The integration of Internet of Things and cloud technologies enables efficient data transfer to a central server, enabling operators and authorities to view a personalized web dashboard from a distance.
Effectively tracking and evaluating Rubber Crumb Granulator performance is a major difficulty for the rubber manufacturing industry. Proactive maintenance and optimal functioning are hindered by the lack of real-time information into torque dynamics and operational behavior. The absence of remote accessibility and thorough data analytics in current monitoring systems often hinders the industry's ability to make educated judgments and take prompt action.
CA2632271C - A comminution apparatus for refining various materials into smaller pieces of a desired size, has a pair of generally circular disks disposed on a common axis and arranged generally parallel to one another forming a comminution region therebetween. Each disk incorporates a plurality of removable cutting bars radially disposed on the disk face, one disk having an even number, the other having an odd number of cutting bars. Process material is fed into the comminution space between the opposing disks and comminuted by counter-rotation of the disks which shears material between opposing cutting bars as they pass. Spacing between the disks is adjustable to suit the input process material. Tapered disk faces control flow of material during the comminution process, permitting only material that has been sufficiently reduced in size to migrate toward the disk perimeter where a skirt ring structure controls the size of the granulated material output. IoT and Cloud equipped technology to monitor Torque and FFT for this innovation is the novelty of the system.

The RTAFMote invention monitors and analyzes the performance of rubber crumb granulators in the rubber manufacturing industry in real-time by smoothly combining many components. An STM32 Board functions as the system's central processing unit, coordinating all of the other components' functions. Important components that are in charge of gathering torque data in real time and offering perceptions into the granulators' rotating activity are the torque sensor and optical encoder. A GSM modem is included to guarantee connectivity, which allows the data to be transferred to a cloud server that is specifically tailored for this use. The collected data is housed in this cloud-based architecture, which makes it easier to save and analyze it later. By using cloud technology, data can be accessed from anywhere, providing a centralized and scalable solution for manufacturing setups that need to monitor several granulators.
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is employed by the system to monitor torque data in real time. By dissecting the torque signal into its frequency components using this sophisticated analytical method, one can gain a better knowledge of the granulator's operating patterns and spot any anomalies or changes over time. By analyzing these insights using pre-established algorithms, trending data and analytics are produced. Two interfaces are used to convey the analysis's findings. The first is an HMI Display, which provides FFT analysis and real-time viewing of important performance parameters right at the granulator's location. At the same time, operators and other pertinent authorities can view the data remotely thanks to a personalized web dashboard. With its extensive charts and statistics, the dashboard helps make educated decisions and proactive maintenance plans based on the Rubber Crumb Granulators' past and present performance.
