Metris addIQ ARGOS is an AI-based, optical measurement system. It is named after the all-seeing giant from Greek mythology, whose many eyes never slept, always remaining vigilant. Similarly, ARGOS continuously monitors critical areas of your machine, providing constant oversight to ensure optimal performance and stability.
Metris addIQ ARGOS is an AI-powered optical measurement system that can detect the actual centrate condition during the thickening and dewatering process. ARGOS adjusts the optimum polymer dose and torque setpoint to match changing conditions in the operating process - like an extra set of eyes looking over the operator's shoulder.
ARGOS can be applied to decanter centrifuges in a wide range of sludge processing facilities. Different designs of centrate sampling boxes are available to meet installation conditions and process requirements.
Keeping centrifuge operation at its optimum would be a 24/7 task for any operator. As the centrifuge is not the only equipment to be taken care of, this amount of attention is not realistic in standard operation. Further, process conditions can be volatile throughout an machine's lifetime. This may lead to a drop in cake dryness, worsening centrate quality, or overdosing of polymer during operation.
All of this means higher costs for polymer use, trucking and disposal fees, drying, and labor. ARGOS helps you to automate your adjustment of polymer and torque control in real time 24/7 and therefore reduces your polymer and sludge processing costs.

Metris addIQ ARGOS is an advanced AI-powered optical measurement system, designed to ensure stable and efficient machine operation for single contact drum dryers.
ARGOS continuously monitors critical process areas and adapts to changes in real time supporting optimal machine performance - like an extra set of eyes looking over the operator's shoulder.
ARGOS can be applied to single contact drum dryers in a wide range of industrial processing facilities - such as food, pharma or environmental industry. The number of cameras and lights can vary depending on the installation conditions and process requirements.
Optimum dryer operation would be a 24/7 task for any operator. As the contact drum dryer is not the only piece of equipment that needs looking after, this level of attention is not realistic during normal operation. In addition, process conditions can change during the lifetime of a machine. Among other things, overspill can occur at the edges of the applicator rollers at any time, the product can be distributed inhomogeneously and the fill level between the applicator rollers can fluctuate greatly. All this leads to inconsistent product quality and costly maintenance.
ARGOS helps you to keep an eye on your machine operation around the clock. It recognises standardised fill levels, homogeneous distributions and accurate product quality. Should anything fall outside the standard values, your operator is informed directly so that they can react quickly.

During each cleaning sequence, Metris addIQ ARGOS continuously evaluates the contamination level of the wash water. By analyzing the optical characteristics of the discharged wash water, ARGOS determines whether the machine is still carrying significant dirt or if it is already sufficiently clean.
High contamination levels tripper an increase in cleaning activity, while clean wash water leads to a shorter washing sequence. With this smart adjustment, ARGOS enhances process reliability while contributing to more sustainable and cost-efficient plant operation.
ARGOS can be applied to screw presses in a wide range of sludge processing facilities. Different designs of filtrate sampling boxes are available to meet installation conditions and process requirements.
