Dry-running detector for five-roll chocolate refiners

types SFG, SFL, SFLN, SFLE, SFLA Fit&Fine

1
1 FineLux with holder
(200 mm from the roll)
2 FineLux evaluation units
for both optics

The new FineLux solution for preventing dry running of the rolls replaces the previous models SET, SEL, and SELA.

The rolls are the heart of every five-roll chocolate refiner, and
only their perfect condition will ensure maximum throughput
capacities for a required product fineness. Traces of burning
caused by dry running of the rolls must therefore be preven-
ted at all cost, since they reduce the service life of the rolls to
a significant extent and will result in poor roll coverage with
product.
FineLux is the best possible response to meeting the related
needs in terms of reliability and ruggedness, based on years
of experience and know-how of Buhler.
The modularity of the concept allows the system to be applied
on all machine generations.
Minimum contamination of the optics and easy settings for
all product recipes are two of the many benefits offered by
FineLux.
«The FineLux dry-running detector
will effectively protect your rolls.»

Added value
• Rugged and reliable: All types of recipes – from white to
dark chocolate – can be processed with one single setting.
• High availability: Minimized contamination thanks to the
large clearance between the probe and the roll (up to 200
mm).
• Easy to clean thanks to protective pipe that can be scre-
wed off.
• Easy setting of the parameters.
• Modular concept: Evaluation in the control system (with
PLC) or in a separate evaluation unit.
• GMP-compliant holder: Cables are protected.
• Easy maintenance: The optical sensor is easy to ex-
change.
Scope of services.

SC 1210 en 0206 300 QL

The FineLux solution is made up of three assemblies:
a) FineLux probe: New type of probe with green light for
optimal detection of all chocolate types.
b) The new probe housing is fastened to the machine frame
panel and is distinguished by its large distance from the
roll (up to 200 mm). To allow cleaning of the optics, the
protective pipe can be screwed off manually.
In the case of certain versions of older-generation refiners,
the probe holder is fastened to the roll gap guard for space
reasons (70 mm from the roll, as with SELA).
c) FineLux evaluation unit: Integrated in the PLC or available
as separate control unit.

(*) Basically, the control system of the dry-running detector will
be integrated in the machine control system.
(**) Special case: conversion of machines already equipped
with a SELA solution (SFLA, SFLE, SFLN & various rebuilds):
If the probe type is converted to FineLux, also the FineLux
evaluation unit will have to be modified.
