Abstract (en)

To control the manufacture of plasterboard the supervisor enters required board parameters and production rate into a central processor. The processor senses the ratio of liquid raw materials to solid raw materials (AWAT) in a mixer and compares AWAT to a calculated setpoint value (SWAT). The set point value is adjusted in accordance with the difference between AWAT and SWAT. The height of a slurry dam behind an extruder on the boardline is then sensed and compared with a set point value (SDAM). If the sensed value (ADAM) differs from the set point value (SDAM) the setting belt speed (ABEL) is adjusted. The adjusted belt speed is then compared to the desired production rate (SBEL) and the raw materials feed rates varied to compensate for the difference.
