| Summary: | This paper presents a modern SCADA system suitable for the production of soybean flakes, particularly the desolventizing-toasting process as a part of hexane solvent extraction. The system was tested and commissioned at the factory for soybean processing Sojaprotein a.d., Bečej in Bečej, Serbia. The observed production process consisted of two plants, one previously existing and the other newly assembled, running in parallel. The present system facilitated the increased productivity, efficient material and energy use, and easy control from a central control room. By means of this system, the operators were able to respond timely to unforeseen situations, which ultimately reduced the total production costs. |
