Project | PLC and HMI for foodstuffs vacuum packaging plant

 

 

 

 

Project:  Undertake turnkey PLC and HMI programming for the rebuilding of a foodstuffs vacuum packaging machine.
Complete rebuild of this packing machine was an in-house project.  This work included:
  • Installation of a Telemecanique PLC and a Magelis operator panel.
  • Design and installation of new electrical control, pneumatic and vacuum systems.
  • Implementation of a Category Four safety system for operator protection.
The rebuild of this machine has allowed Milligans to gain machine reliability and consistency with varied produce throughput.  The new control panel allows the operator easy access and positive control of the machine's function.
The key to the success of this project was ICSC working through the machine's design functions to gain an understanding of it's operation so we could deliver a workable solution for the client.  This meant maintaining a close relationship with the client to assist with any production issues.
"The bottom-line is a working machine at a fraction of the replacement cost."
