* Reduced steam and ampere load with a wider gap point to about 5% expected productivity gain.
Key findings
- —Hardness increased from 4.48 kg control to 5.70 kg with BERDA, more than 27% improvement.
- —Productivity was expected to improve by about 5% through reduced steam, ampere load, and adjusted gap conditions.
- —Dust amount decreased in the BERDA group.
