ECONia combines the advantages of thermal insulation and Industry 4.0 in an innovative, new way. An integrated robot (aiCON) takes over the usual operating processes, making a fully automated line become reality. The manual start-up process of the machine and the manual change of the knife carrier are now a thing of the past. The operator can efficiently operate and control more than 10 lines from only one control center. An inline monitoring system (ECON Pellet Vision) monitors the pellets to ensure the best quality possible. If the system measures deviations, the parameters are adjusted automatically to achieve the best results.
quality first – the implemented ECON Pellet Vision (inline monitoring system) guarantees the production of high-quality pellets and reduces large amounts of off-spec material
secure – high safety level for the operator
stable – the automated process and ECON Pellet Vision ensure high process stability
efficient – the automated system significantly reduces the cost intensive production downtimes during start-up processes and knife carrier changes
economical – less manpower is required
In addition, ECONia has all the advantages of thermal insulation, which guarantees the best production process possible.
ECON Pellet Vision is an inline monitoring system that uses two cameras to ensure perfect quality and high process stability.
ECON Agglomerate Detection
The ECON Agglomerate Detection recognizes lumps and chains during the start-up process to ensure a safe start-up procedure. This system thus guarantees a high process stability.
