  • Method for controlling a mineral material processing plant and a mineral material processing plant
    Patent number: 9993827
    Abstract: A mineral material processing plant and a method for controlling thereof. The mineral material processing plant includes at least one motor, at least one actuator, a feeder device, a control system, and an arrangement for recognizing a need to switch off a standby-mode. The control system is configured to control the processing plant in such a way that the need to switch off a standby mode is automatically recognized. In response to the recognized need to switch off the standby mode the running speed of a motor or motors of the mineral material processing plant is raised from a stand-by speed (Rsb) to a process speed (Rf); and the feeding of mineral material into the processing plant is enabled.
