MUMBAI, India, June 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517044598 A) filed by Maag Germany Gmbh, Grossostheim, Germany, on May 8, for 'method and apparatus for contactlessly determining the temperature of a stream of conveyed material and granulation device having such a contactless temperature determination apparatus.'
Inventor(s) include Siegmann Eckhard.
The application for the patent was published on June 13, under issue no. 24/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for contactlessly determining the temperature of stranded and/or granular objects in a stream of conveyed material for instance at the dryer outlet of a granulator in which infrared sensors are used to capture the radiation field of the stream of conveyed material flowing past against a background and the temperature of the stranded or granular objects is determined from the measurement signal from the infrared sensors wherein the temperature of the background against which the stream of conveyed material to be measured flows past is varied in terms of time and/or location by means of a temperature control apparatus wherein degrees of fluctuation are determined from the measurement signal from the infrared sensors for different background temperatures and the position of a minimum fluctuation is determined from these degrees of fluctuation wherein the object temperature is determined from the value of the measurement signal at the time/location of the minimum fluctuation."
The patent application was internationally filed on Oct. 09, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/077841.
