Patent ID: 11511248

Abstract:
A method for controlling a prilling bucket in the prilling of a a urea melt (UM) including: feeding the urea melt to a prilling bucket (1) which vibrates under the action of a magnetostrictive device (2), wherein the vibration of the bucket is controlled, as a function of the amount of urea melt to be prilled, by the following steps: acquisition of a time-varying input signal (3) which represents the flow rate of urea melt fed to the prilling bucket; generation of a first signal (5) and of a second signal (6), independently from each other, as a function of said input signal (3); generation of a third signal (10) having a frequency which is modulated by said first signal and an magnitude which is modulated by said second signal, and use of said third signal to drive said magnetostrictive device (2).
