Project: Process
curing room for clay blanks. |
| This involved working with the client to develop a
system to control and track the curing of clay blanks in a new drying
technology developed by the client. |
| Industrial Controls developed a control sequence to
manipulate the parameters used for curing the clay blanks.
The operator is given full access to the control parameters for tuning
the process. Real-time information is logged and trended on
to an Intouch station to enable the operator to evaluate the curing
process. |
| The key to success with this project was the close
working relationship with the production manager and plant electrician
to develop a safe system and operator-friendly package. This
included training in the operation of the new Scada package. |
| This project has provided the client with a very
flexible, cost-effective and high-performance package. |
| "The result is outstanding - the curing
process has been reduced from what used to be one week to one day with
a higher yield per run" |
| Ian Clark, Production
Manager, New Zealand Insulators Ltd. |
