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

To be continued ...

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.

Packing Machines

After each bottle get labeled it must grouped to be packed in carton.
So we need an Incamatic machine to group bottles together and put each group in separated carton.

The carton is shaped in car-toning machine then each carton is felled by Incamatic machine then each filled carton is closed by second car-toning machine.

After that we need a Palatalizing machine to arrange car-tones in layers then put those layers above each other, The number of carton per layer and the number of layers per pallet are predetermined by machine setting.

After that we can shrink the filled pallet b Shrink wrapper machine.

After the Pallet get wrapped it became ready to transferred to the storage area as a product.

Labeling machine

Labeling machine is used to paste label of the product on each bottle.

Labeling machine must has a tank for the glue and it must be heated very well before starting the machine cycle.

almost of Labeling machines use servo motors to obtain high accuracy and very fine movement.

The Labeling machine in-feed is a filled and capped bottles but the out-feed is filled, capped and labeled bottles.

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.
