Caractéristiques
Dual line management
Increase production efficiency with full synchronization
The Tetra Pak® Line Controller 40 can manage up to two full packaging lines. If one machine is held up, the production speed of other equipment is automatically adjusted to compensate, thus preventing queues or stops. The overall result is less damage to packages and a higher line output.
Multiple stand–alone operator panels
Fast operator interface at the place of operation saves time
You can put the operator panel where it fits and you can add several operator panels at strategic places along the line or wherever you want to place them. This saves time for operators and makes setup more flexible and operation more efficient.
Automatic line configuration
Easy start-up and fail-safe production recipes
The line automatically configures the setup based on parameter download or recipe-based production. No manual line configuration is required during product changes
Easy line integration
No additional PLC or programming required
Embedded software easily integrates entire lines, including third-party equipment, and this no longer requires an additional PLC per third-party DE unit. This reduces your hardware and engineering cost for integration and enables full insight into your entire line operations. Furthermore, it enables fast and simple installation and start-up. It also allows you to easily integrate entire lines with your ERP/MES systems.
Configurable safety zones
Prevent entire line from stopping during emergency stops
This feature allows the identification of up to six specific safety zones and manages each zone independently. This restricts emergency conveyor stops to the affected zone only, avoiding disruption of other zones.
Options
Message display panel
Clear simple guidance for operators
A large, digital display gives operators real-time information when raw material shortages or stoppages occur, and pinpoints the problem area.
