Used in the sugar industry to monitor the proper functioning of the crystallization process, the Crystavision cooking microscope is a process monitoring device equipped with a video camera that allows real-time observation of the birth and growth of sugar crystals during the seeding phase, followed by the enlargement phase.
- Control of cooking rinse
- Verification of correct seeding
- Improvement of the crystallization process
- Production traceability
- Recording of crystal growth for each cooking
- Viewing images of all possible cookings from multiple PCs without disrupting the ongoing recording.
Operation:
- Through a porthole, the Crystavision microscope captures an image of the crystals.
- This image is transmitted to video monitors.
- For each cooking, the main stages of crystal growth can be recorded and are thus easily viewable.
