16-Port Managed PROFINET Switch

Post By admin Product News No Comments

Featuring a totally new, “tiered” design, the PROFINET Switch will enable cable entry straight from the bottom, giving a better and easier bending radius of the cables.

The FLEXtra PROFINET switch connects the control world with PROFINET according to Conformance Class B and the IT world with up to 1GBit Ethernet. With the FLEXtra PROFINET switch, PROFINET components with 100 Mbps as well as Ethernet subscribers with up to 1000 Mbps can be networked.
This enables communication from the control level and the machine in one switch. The PROFINET prioritization of the machine level is always guaranteed.

One of the most important functions of a PROFINET switch is the prioritization of PROFINET telegram traffic in the machine network. The managed switch can distinguish whether the telegram is a web request, an FTP file transfer, a media stream, or a PROFINET telegram. If the transmission load is high, the important telegrams can thus be prioritized to prevent telegram loss. Using a GSDML file, you can integrate the switch into your automation environment as usual.
The supported PROFINET protocols, such as LLDP, DCP, or diagnostic alarms, can be easily parameterized and managed.

The practical design with the intelligent arrangement of the Ethernet sockets saves space in the control cabinet.
The always clearly visible status LEDs on the top of the FLEXtra PROFInet Switch allow easy diagnostics even with full cabling.

Technical advantages when using a PROFINET-Switch

  • Prioritizing of PROFINET frames
  • Assignment of a configuration via the device name
  • Neighborhood detection
  • Device exchange without programming device
  • Ring redundancy
  • Each port can be activated or deactivated
  • Diagnostic messages for network problems
  • Identification and maintenance data

Innovative UV-C technology for use in public areas

Post By admin Product News

The challenges of the global pandemic due to the corona virus have prompted STERILE SYSTEMS to develop special devices that are intended for use in public areas. These serve to make your stay in public areas, restaurants, offices and meeting rooms as well as in medical practices and pharmacies safe. The use of our innovative technology helps to ensure this security.

ULE 500
The ULE500 was developed for the effective disinfection of indoor air. Thanks to the very quiet fan, the device, which is operated with a pressure switch, can also be used in waiting areas for doctors, therapy and social rooms, in hotels and catering busines and much more applications. The special design of the high-quality powder-coated housing ensures reliable shielding of the UV-C light for people.

DS400-410
The disinfection systems DS400 and DS410 are used to remove unwanted microorganisms on surfaces of small units such as parcels, letters, tools, laboratory glasses, knives and similar utensils. After inserting the objects in the compact stainless steel housing, the duration of the disinfection can be selected accordingly via a timer and the efficient disinfection of unwanted microorganisms can start. The safety device ensures that the emitters are switched off when they are opened during operation.

MicroDry® Lubrication system

Post By admin Product News

Do you know the value of the transporter?

Line efficiency is a term that every manufacturer knows and understands that the more it increases, the more profitable his business becomes.

The importance of conveyors in the production line

Many factors affect the efficiency of the production line. The question is: have you ever thought about the effect of conveyors on the efficiency of the bottling or canning line?

We all know that the conveyor belts are the links between machines of a line. From another perspective, this connection is the backbone of the line, which is responsible for an intelligent and continuous supply of these machines.

 

The effect of the conveyor belt on bottling or canning lines

Some machines accept single products, some accept mass products, the conveyors will feed and unload them, communicate with each of them to slow down or increase the speed of supply and in case of machine stop, it will give this machine some recovery time by accumulating products before it asks all the other machines to stop and wait for their team member to come back into the game.

  • The smoother the supply (or in other terms the absence of vibrations, the absence of pressure between products, and the higher stability of the product), the smoother the delivery and discharge will be for single and mass inputs/outputs.
  • The smarter the supply (or in other terms the ability to synchronize electrically and mechanically with the machine’s speeds), the faster the entire line will return to its high speed.
  • The more reliable the conveyor is (or in other terms the less break down it receives from the broken chain to the broken sprockets, to the broken motor, to the worn wear strips), the more production time is gained.

So the conveyor belts are the backbone of the line and one of the main players in the efficiency of the line!

Conveyor Care – What is the best solution?

Now here’s what is still missing: conveyors are also machines, they have needs and require care. Of course, you want to choose the best solution available for the backbone machines to meet their needs and care, with the lowest operating cost possible.

For care, we recommend preventive maintenance, as well as lubrication of the wear strips and automatic cleaning.

For the best transport performance, choose the supplier that can precisely control the friction between the chain and the product with long-lasting high-quality lubrication material that is not affected by water or spillage, in other words, you have to look for full layer lubrication that is automatically renewed to guarantee a smooth, intelligent and reliable conveyor that will be the backbone of the line’s efficiency.

 

MicroDry®lubrication system

The MicroDry® lubrication system is water-repellent and dirt-resistant. It is a patented technology for slat and air conveyors used for PET bottles, glass bottles, cans, cardboard packs, jars, etc.

MicroDry® is a dry lubrication solution that can manage a complete filling line and offers more valuable advantages from other lubrication methods: greater line efficiency and low running costs.

Food & Beverage industry challenges from the impact of Coronavirus

Post By admin Industry Tips No Comments

How can we at Praucs, as an industrial solution provider, respond and contribute to face those challenges:

With the economic crisis incurred from COVID-19 pandemic, the food and beverage industry is being affected and wise measures should be taken to keep on maximizing ROI while offering safe food.

As tweeted a few days ago, by FAO Director-General QU Dongya, “…no efforts should be spared to minimize (COVID-19) impact on trade in food”.

According to Newsfood magazine, that in this time of crisis, authorities around the world are categorizing F&B as essential, asking for mutual help between public and private sectors to ensure that production, health, and safety are of paramount importance and supplies must continue to meet demand which is exceeding.

Being experts in the industrial technology, in particular in conveyors’ MicroDry® lubrication and UV-C sterilization and disinfection, we can play a vital role in helping the current situation in the Middle East region as we are currently receiving enquiries on how the manufacturing plants can still supply its customers with guaranteed, long-shelf-life, high-quality/safe food while producing efficiently.

Partnering with world leaders in industrial technologies, we have already succeeded in the region to implement our lean solutions in F&B industries for higher production efficiency and high-quality products supply:

  • MicroDry® lubrication: a patented technology for slat and air conveyors used for PET bottles, glass bottles, cans, cardboard packages, jars, etc. offering more valuable benefits from other methods of lubrication: Higher line efficiency and low running cost.
  • UV-C: High-performance UV technology for water, air and surface sterilization and disinfection. 99,999% germs eradication. It is highly effective against viruses and bacteria.

Each of us can contribute to overcoming this unfavorable event with its specific capabilities to help smooth the industry’s fluctuations. Altogether, we can join our efforts to quickly cope with the twists and turns, staying on top of our growth and development plans for the food and beverage industry.
