ADVANTAGES OF THE SOUND 2 ADVANCED ELECTRONIC EAR
MAXIMISED BALL MILL EFFICIENCY
The technology of this digital electronic ear makes it possible to maximise the efficiency of your ball mill in order to improve the performance of cement processes.
DIGITAL ACCURACY
The signal from the microphone is processed in real time to ensure greater accuracy in data measurement and analysis.
IMPROVED PREDICTABILITY
The DSP systems simplify filters, providing predictable and highly repeatable results (characteristic of digital circuits as opposed to analogue circuits).
SIMPLIFIED INTEGRATION
The provision of an analogue data output (0/4 … 20 mA) facilitates integration.
REAL-TIME DISPLAY
Personalised information, such as the fill level, is displayed in real time on a digital screen for greater visibility and precision.
EASE OF INTEGRATION
The provision of an analogue data output (0/4 … 20 mA) simplifies integration.
ENERGY REDUCTION
The SOUND 2 ADVANCED electronic ear is designed to significantly reduce power consumption per ton of product.
EXTENDED LIFESPAN
The digital ear for ball mills designed by HASLER Group reduces wear on your grinding equipment and its coating.
RELIABILITY
With more than 35 years of experience in electronic ear design, HASLER Group’s teams are committed to ensuring optimum reliability for your solutions.

Description of the SOUND 2 ADVANCED electronic ear
The SOUND 2 ADVANCED digital ear for ball mills consists of a microphone and a front screen incorporating software with advanced control algorithms. It is a robust solution specially designed to fulfil the challenging requirements of cement applications:
/ The microphone head is located 4–5 cm from your mill and is protected by a fine mesh covered with a thin plastic film over the foam layer.
/ The microphone is insulated from background noise in the factory.
/ The screen on the front has a waterproof cover to prevent dust getting in and disrupting the response of the electronic ear.
Key features:
/ Acquisition and processing of the digital sound signal
/ LCD display (HMI)
/ Automatic calibration
/ Adapts to the material to be ground
/ Compatible with the previous Sound 1 electronic ears
/ IP65 metal body
/ Multilingual interface
/ Made in France
Installation :
/ Plug & play installation of the SOUND 2 ADVANCED microphone on a ball mill.
/ This mill control system consists of a very sensitive microphone installed near the outlet from chamber 1 of the mill, at the point of impact of the grinding balls and as close as possible to the housing of the mill.
/ The foam on the digital electronic ear should almost touch the outer housing of the mill.
