Automated control of a roller mill

The relevance of the study is driven by the need to develop and implement competitive domestic automation solutions in technological processes, as well as by the difficulties in solving this problem in certain mature industries, such as the flour milling industry. In this context, this paper examines a roller mill to model it as a control plant and to study the parameters of various types of control devices. In this study, the roller mill is identified as a control plant, its mathematical model is developed, various types of controllers are considered, and their characteristics for controlling the selected plant are investigated using simulation methods. The parameters of controllability and stability are determined, and the most preferable approaches for controlling the mill are identified. The conclusions are as follows: correct identification of the mill is important; although a PI controller has better performance for controlling a single mill, a fuzzy logic controller may be more effective for controlling a multi mill system. The results obtained in this work can be used both for modernizing existing production facilities and for manufacturing new domestic equipment, as well as for further research.
