Situated in Vicenza, Italy Sicit is a company that understands the importance of big data. This is one of the reasons why they turned to Alfa Laval for ConditionAlert to ensure optimal operation for the decanters. Sicit's main business is transforming residues from the leather tanning industries both in this area and beyond into products that are then utilized in the construction industry as well as as fertilizers for agriculture Furthermore, the extracted fat is utilized for fuel production. Behind the success of Sicit's operations lies a critical component the decanter centrifuges. The role of the decanter in our production process is to separate the waste present in this intermediate stage of the process from the high value-added product that we package at the end. The decanter plays a particular role in the production process it's a continuous flow. We cannot afford to have a default because this would cause a slowdown even a complete halt, in the entire production process. this is why connecting the decanters becomes so important. In 2023 ConditionAlert detected a potential issue with the decanter’s main bearing. Fast action was taken ultimately preventing major breakdown. as weeks passed, ConditionAlert continued to monitor and identify further anomalies ensuring total uptime In Sicit, we have had several cases in which ConditionAlert findings and recommendations saved the customer from an unplanned breakdown. Looking ahead Alfa Laval is committed to leveraging new digital solution setting a new customer experience to proactive data driven insights. The power of data gives us a new understanding of potential problems that were previously not possible to evaluate. With a growing installed base of connected decanter we can proactively support our customers.
