Does the job of five paper chart recorders
March 1st 2009 A single SM3000 videographic
recorder from ABB is reported to be
doing the job of five traditional
paper chart recorders at Premier
Foods' Sarsons vinegar factory in
Middleton,Manchester. As well as
delivering an initial cost saving, the
SM3000 is reducing ongoing
maintenance costs and improving
data storage and handling.
The SM3000 multipoint recorder
gathers data from five vinegar
pasteurisation lines. Pasteurisation
heats the vinegar to destroy any
spoilage organisms that could
shorten its shelf life. Product quality
is a top priority and it is crucial for
Premier Foods to monitor the
pasteurisation process closely. The
SM3000 records the temperature of
each pasteuriser once every second.
Up to 36 universal analog inputs,
communicated inputs or math
results can be recorded and displayed
in a variety of operator views. More articles from ABB Ltd: |
