The Secret to Safe, Smooth Conveying is Volkmann

Robotic Solution

With its modular design and flexibility, the Rotzinger robotic solution combines a delta robot with an integrated buffer, and a hygienic conveyor in one cell. The vision-guided, high-speed robot identifies incoming products on the conveyor belt before picking and placing them into a variety of packaging formats, such as cartons, cases, thermoforms, flow wrappers, and cartoning machines. Built for dry cleaning, the hygienic conveyor complies with U.S. food safety regulations. It features a foldable belt and beveled or rounded horizontal surfaces, as well as stainless-steel construction.

Device Management Software

Mettler Toledo inspection device management software is compatible with virtually all Mettler Toledo metal detectors, checkweighers, X-ray systems, and vision inspection systems. The ProdX software Version 2.6 intuitive user interface allows users to monitor data, review contamination events, and run reports from a web client on any in-network PC. It enables the automated generation of final evaluations and summary reports at the end of every product run, shift, or day. The product validation capability prevents product settings from being changed and displays a visual indicator to confirm the system is running an established, validated recipe.

MULTI-SHAFT MIXER

Built for the processing of medium- to high-viscosity products, the Ross multishaft mixer features a twowing center-mounted agitator with a contoured bottom and Teflon scrapers that motivate viscous product throughout the mixing zone; a long helical flight agitator for top-to-bottom mixing; and a dual propeller agitator for low-shear, high-flow mixing. Designed for internal pressures up to 50 psi, the tank of the VM-450-gal VersaMix mixer is fabricated from 304 stainless steel. The mixer has an integrated two-way flush tank ball valve, 14-in. manway for ingredient additions and cleaning operations, and 7-in. color touchscreen interface.

Impedance Sensor

Designed for clean-in-place (CIP) processes, the 4T2 Sensors impedance sensor generates an electrical fingerprint of the fluid in the pipe, allowing real-time, highresolution measurements. The CIPSense sensor detects concentrations, contamination, and mixtures of fluids. It seamlessly integrates with any SCADA system.

SELF-CLEANING MAGNET

Communication Module

IIoT ready, the Wago communication module controls power supplies and DC subsystems. With an intuitive web interface, the Wago Pro 2 EtherNet/IP with MQTT communication module commissions the power supply to help identify potential problems in real time with data, such as current and voltage, along with other warnings and alarms. The module can be used on newly designed or existing systems with upgrade capabilities that can be reconfigured on the fly.

The Powder-Solutions self-cleaning magnet pneumatically retracts its magnet rods, rotates them, and wipes the magnetic materials to the end and into a collection chamber. Automatic cleaning can take place during, before, or after production runs. USDA Dairy accepted, the Mag-Ram magnet provides a 10,000+ gauss reading. Applications include the extraction of work-hardened stainless steel, wear iron, and tramp metal. Units can be sized to suit existing chutes and hoppers.

Data Server

The Emerson data server makes intelligent field device information, such as configuration parameters, alerts, and calibration data, available in near real time, for use in applications and other software. The AMS device manager data server simplifies the importing of critical instrument and valve data into common dashboarding tools and applications, including Microsoft PowerBI; Emerson software tools, such as the Plantweb Optics platform; Plantweb Insight; Aspen MTell and AspenTech Inmation; and plant historians.

Feeder Dosing System

The Volkmann feeder dosing system automatically weighs powders, pellets, flakes, and other bulk materials and doses them into hoppers, mixers, baggers, and vertical form/fill/ seal machines. The unit has a vibrator design that sets material in a uniform layer while advancing it toward discharge in a first-in, first-out process. It can be configured for loss-inweight feeding, gain-in-weight feeding, and continuous metering. ATEX certified as explosion-proof, the system has a stainless-steel construction in product contact areas.
