SAMS – Smart Automation and Monitoring System | 9 WASHDOWN PLUS PROMISE PROCESS/ FINISHING FOOD SAFETY PRIMARY PACKAGING

THE WASH DOWN PLUS PROMISE FOOD SAFETY All the washdown components that are part of the Smart Automation and Monitoring System (SAMS) are designed so that they can withstand the tough demands of cleaning processes. At home in extremely harsh environments, they meet Ecolab requirements. They are perfectly protected from cleaning agents and water, and with a rating of at least 1000 cleaning cycles our products far exceed the requirements for IP69K. The result: significantly longer service life, less maintenance effort and expense, and overall significant cost savings. SAMS also offers you...

SAMS – Smart Automation and Monitoring System | 11 SMART FEATURES Once placed in service, the devices are turned into data sources which you can use for reliable operation of your equipment. For example, you can gain temperature monitoring, relative humidity measurement, inclination detection, vibration monitoring, signal quality display, operating hours counters or time functions. Such features eliminate the need for additional devices with a monitoring function, significantly reducing your inventory levels. In addition, each component can be uniquely located within the system by pinging....

Food industry PERFECTLY PREPARED. HYGIENIC AND HIGH QUALITY The components in our SAMS are, thanks to Washdown-Plus, designed for more than 1000 cleaning cycles and, thereby, exceed the requirements of IP69K. This provides for long service life and less maintenance effort. DAIRY The dairy industry is subject to the strictest hygienic and quality regulations. This is why a real-time capable and transparent production process with modular production lines is indispensable for efficient production. Only in this way, can traceability and flexibility be ensured. Our comprehensive product...

Vehicle detection Monitoring the hydraulics in homogenizing equipment Controlling product flow at the coupling panels Level detection in a yogurt tank Checking for container presence Object detection during production Colored label detection

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION BIS Industrial RFID Systems MONITORING THE HYDRAULICS IN HOMOGENIZING EQUIPMENT BSP Pressure Sensors The milk transport vehicles are equipped Homogenization as a standard industrial with RFID tags. Now every transport process enables stabilizing of fat step can be tracked: from the laboratory emulsions to prevent gravity induced test to quality inspection, to the pumps separation. The hydraulic circuit within moving milk from the vehicle tank to the homogenizer must be continuously the storage containers, to cleaning of monitored. In addition to pressure and the...

CONTROLLING PRODUCT FLOW AT THE COUPLING PANEL BES Inductive Sensors LEVEL DETECTION IN A YOGURT TANK BCS Capacitive Sensors CHECKING THE PRESENCE OF THE CONTAINER FOR SECURE FILLING BUS Ultrasonic Sensors Coupling panels are used for manual changes between different piping paths. The coupling elbows are used to connect the pipes in various combinations. Elbow position is detected by a BES inductive sensor, whose housing is resistant to abrasive and aggressive media. The LEDs are protected from mechanical damage as well, and the housing construction is optimized for frequent cleaning. Level...

OBJECT DETECTION DURING PRODUCTION BOS Photoelectric Sensors COLORED LABEL DETECTION BFS Photoelectric Color Sensors Hygienic regulations are especially critical in the production of milk products. Optical sensors for object detection from Balluff meet the relevant hygiene requirements. These rugged sensors can be cleaned in-process using any of the common procedures. Aggressive media such as cleaning agents have no effect on them. When detecting label colors, even the slightest shade differences need to be recognized. This means the sensors have to reliably detect faded colors or...

Solutions for meat processing Detecting the PEF417 code on the delivered raw material Level sensing in the mixer/mincer Position detection in the hygienic area Detecting hooks in conveyor systems Monitoring safety on automatic saws in the cutting process 6 Optical detection on automatic saws in the cutting process 7 Transporting signals reliably and error-free

SCANNING THE PDF417 CODE OF THE DELIVERED RAW MATERIALS BVS Optical Identification LEVEL SENSING IN THE MIXER/MINCER BCS Capacitive Sensors POSITION DETECTION IN THE HYGIENIC AREA BOS Photoelectric Sensors When the raw product is delivered it must first be detected and identified. This is done using so-called PDF417 codes located on the raw product. Unfortunately, these codes are frequently not at the same height. By using the portable reader BVS HS-P the codes can still be read simply and flexibly. Continuous and errorless processing requires that there always be sufficient meat in the...
