To demonstrate the benefits of a Tetra Pak® Plant Components solution, Ann Christin Andersson, Senior Product Manager at Tetra Pak, shared her expert insights into how our Unique Mixproof Valve with ThinkTop solution works in combination with IO-Link to deliver overall improved performance and cost competitiveness.
Reduce water consumption by up to 90%
Unique Mixproof Valve with ThinkTop solution saves up to 90% of Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) liquid, significantly lowering your operational costs compared to the traditional Programming Logic Controller (PLC) timer-controlled seat lift. In combination, Unique Mixproof Valve with ThinkTop delivers intuitive, intelligent valve control, self-diagnostics and the fastest ever burst cleaning, enabling safe and efficient flow management.
Next-gen valve performance through real-time data exchange
As we head towards a digitalised world, the integration of IO-Link with ThinkTop futureproofs your business by enhancing point-to-point communication between smart sanitary valves and advanced automation systems. Real-time data exchange, improved diagnostics and intuitive configurability and control enable smarter, more agile valve control. With its simplified infrastructure, the IO-Link interface requires 70% less cabling, saving you time and money on installation, hardware and labour costs.
Improve overall performance and cost competitiveness
Unique Mixproof Valve with ThinkTop and IO-Link solution reduces installation time, waste and other utilities and increases connectivity and data opportunities. In addition to the economic and environmental savings, the ability to capture, store, analyse and act upon meaningful data helps you meet increasingly strict regulations and optimise production for improved cost-competitiveness.
