Preparation equipment
Cylinder orientation machine
Automatic in-line in chain conveyor
The electronically controlled cylinder orientation machine COM is an independent unit designed for in-line installation in a chain conveyor. The COM is fully automatic and rotates a cylinder to the correct orientation required for the next process (e.g. filling).
The COM can be configured with a built-in optic sensor in a valve orientation head (the cylinder is orientated by detecting the cylinder valve) or with a photoelectric sensor (the cylinder is orientated by detecting the cylinder shroud).
MAKEEN Connect
The unit is compatible with MAKEEN Energy's Industry 4.0 Digital Solution, which enables data capturing of the process for remote supervision, performance optimization, and predictive/preventive maintenance alerts through e.g. a MAKEEN Energy cloud solution (optional).
Benefits
Maximum safety level
- Fully automatic rotation of cylinders (eliminates manual operation)
- More accurate and reliable operation with correct cylinder orientation detection by a sensor
Maximum production uptime
- Automatic predictive and preventive maintenance alerts with MAKEEN Energy’s Industry 4.0 Digital Solution to avoid breakdowns (optional)
- Automatic operation stops (e.g. low compressed air pressure) prevent process errors and assist in quick restarting
- Quick adjustment to different cylinder sizes and valve types
Optimised production
- Remote supervision with MAKEEN Energy’s Industry 4.0 Digital Solution for production optimisation
- Efficient cylinder orientation makes it possible to utilize the maximum capacity on subsequent processes (e.g. filling)
