Upgrade your food processing line for higher performance
The rapid growth of consumer markets in emerging economies and quickly changing consumer preferences are driving the need for innovation in food and beverage production line assembly. It means your machines need to be more reliable, flexible and energy-efficent than ever before.
Anticipating the needs of fast-moving, complex food production processes
Growth and changing consumer preferences for packaged goods are driving the need for flexible and intelligent innovation in production line assembly. The food production environment poses several challenges to your overall operation: mechanical, thermal, chemical, hygiene and safety requirements can tax components and adversely affect processed goods. Monitoring temperatures and pressures is vital for product integrity.
Deliver pinpoint accuracy, performance and efficiency
The very foundation of food processing demands machinery that delivers precision performance. Our automation and drive solution providing a solution that works seamlessly and is highly energy-efficient. SmartWire-DT, our intelligent wiring system, connects smart components and provides transparency on process data and energy consumption to help optimize power efficiency, and process and machinery utilization. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) minimize production downtime and data loss and protect operational systems.
Next generation machine operation for food production
Recent years have seen an increase in the complexity of machine operation interfaces, leading to extensive training requirements and constraints in flexibility for operation management. The availability of even more information thanks to digitalization in smart factories can make it more complicated. In a joint initiative with Eaton, the Machine Building Institute of the University RWTH Aachen has issued a white paper that describes how role concepts and adaptive human machine interfaces can help to improve the productivity of staff and optimize production performance via data available through increased data harvesting.
The italian company Turri S.r.l. developed together with Eaton smart bread-making lines that use the IoT and big data to receive and handle information in a precise and timely manner. Thanks to Eaton's full support from the design phase through to assistance, the management process has been optimized and simplified.
Making potato processing an easy exercise
Discover how Eaton technology enabled the design and build of a fully automated potato sorting plant, while reducing wiring time by 80% for significant cost savings and a virtually flawless operation.
To achieve the freshest product possible, vegetable preparation machines need to stay up and running at all times. With the help of Eaton, the german company König Sondermaschinen developed a reliable system protection for their vegetable preparation machines to avoid costly troubleshooting, rapidly resolve shutdown causes, reduce wiring and easily speed up regulation of machine drives.
Integrating functional safety in machines
Functional safety is an essential part of the design process for food & beverage machinery, as it is key to protecting the wellbeing of the machine operator and keeping production up and running. Our safety manual provides an easy entry-level into the extensive set of material available on safety technology and contains an overview of the most important factors of directives, standards and regulations that have to be taken into consideration when using safety equipment on machines.
Machine operation must not only have an attractive design, it also needs a design that is easy to clean - even under high pressure. For the XV series, operation with gloves is no problem as well as the use in harsh industrial environments and high immunity. The XV-313 devices are designed for rear mounting. The panel is flush with the control console, resulting in a flat, edge-free easy to clean surface.
Resistant & Durable
Dust, dirt, and splash water are an unavoidable part of work in tough industrial environments. This is why the RMQ range has a high degree of protection in the front IP69 and back IP64, making it highly resistant to particles, liquids, and cleaning agents. Easy direct use in machines in tough industrial environments without the need for additional enclosures
