Polyprod (PP30)

Multiformat packaging machine: Filling and capping for liquids / pellets in bottles / jars - for educational training purposes.

Features:

• PLC and HMI (color display touch screen operator panel)
• Conveying (slat band chain)
• Liquid packaging (diaphragm pump) and pellet packaging (worm gear dispenser)
• Gripping (gripping/screwing head)
• Industrial Communication (Ethernet, ASi) and supervision
• Electrical energy (low-voltage switchgear, speed drive, motor)
• Pneumatics (venturivalve, air treatment system, ASidistributors, pneumatic motor, cylinders…)
• Sensors (Reed switch, inductive, photoelectric, capacitive, optical fiber)

Training activities:

• Functional analysis, studying the technologies used and constructive solutions (3D-modeling on Solidworks)
• System operationand format change
• System performance analysis
• Assembly, disassembly and adjustments of the operating part
• Designing and updating a maintenance operations file
• Partial or total programming of the operating cycle
• Preventive and corrective maintenance(electrical and mechanical troubleshooting)

Key points:

• Heavy duty system(mechanically-welded steel base…)
• Centralized pneumatic adjustments
• Study of the dosing of liquid, paste, semi-pasty and granulate productson asingle system
