Industrial processing cont.

In very simple words we can describe machines like that, Most of machines are consist of sensors, actuators, controllers and HMI display.


Actuators: We can imagine actuators like our hands which we use them to execute wanted actions that ordered by brain, In machines actuators examples are motors, solenoids, heaters and so on...

Controllers: Controllers are like our brain, It is the master who make decisions, Usually machine controller are PLC, Micro-controllers

Industrial processing

Most of industrial processing in factories mainly depend on machines...,What is the machine? 
In very simple words we can describe machines like that, Most of machines are consist of sensors, actuators, controllers and HMI display.

Sensors:
   We can imagine that sensors as our sensing members like eyes and ears, Machines too have its own sensors which can sense required events and conditions like pressure, temperature,position ....and so on
and convert the sensed condition to electrical signals to help controller to understand it.

Air Conveyor

Air conveyor is a conveyor that empty bottles hanged on and moved by air pressure to the next stage of production.

Blowers Introduction Animation

In beverages manufacturing air conveyor transfers empty bottles which produced by blowing machine to the filling machine.

But how bottles pushed from the out-feed of blowing machine to the in-feed of filling machine?
You must install several air blowers on the air conveyor to produce pressured air towards the destination by sufficient pressure and sufficient flow rate to can push many bottles in the same time in one line.

The number of blowers you need to install on air conveyor depends on the length of  air conveyor and the number of curves found in air conveyor.

 

Industrial Area

In this post I'd like to explain how to think and initiate your new industrial business.
As an example let's talk about beverages manufacturing .
First you must think about the area that you will need to install your production line,The production line may be a lot of machines (We will discuss this later).

So you have to study the area of your site and min. area that the production line need
taking in the consideration the area needed to store the materials needed by the all production line, the area needed to each machine materials and the spaces for movement for both forklifts and persons(operators).

You can use software tools to design the layout of the industrial area like Auto-cad to make sure that all spaces you need will be fit before you start transfer and install machines.

Before you start you must make sure that the area you have is processed very will to be qualified to install  the machines to make the ground qualified to withstand the wight and the vibration will done by the machines and you must make sure that the ground has drain channels  in the right places,It's good to make that clear in your layout design.

The production line for beverages manufacturing is consist of several machines, I will mention them here then I will talk about them individually in more details.
Blowing machine,Air conveyer, Filling machine, Labeling machine, Box formatting machine, Incamatic machine, Cartooning machine,Palatalizing machine.
