December 22, 2016
Selecting the right equipment is only one part of addressing your bulk material conveying challenge. Another is ensuring that the selected equipment is properly integrated and controlled within your processing environment. At UniTrak, we can engineer and supply equipment that has the appropriate level of controls and automation needed to ensure optimal functioning within your process.
Increasingly, customers are seeking greater automation and productivity from the bulk material conveyors they select. UniTrak control systems engineering can help deliver equipment that supports automated operation, preventive and predictive maintenance, and real time communication of equipment operating data.
Bulk Material Conveyor Controls and Automation Solutions from UniTrak
Ways that UniTrak can help with equipment controls and automation include the following:
- Standard control panels
- Monitoring systems to detect equipment malfunctions, providing alarm notifications, shutdown control and system log details
- Sensors for hazard monitoring of critical equipment areas
- Systems engineering and design of fully integrated equipment packages, including programmable systems for I/O control and equipment synchronization.
- Hardware options, including control panel design and systems from Allen-Bradley, Siemens and others
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) for motor control and regulation of equipment motion and speed
- Safety systems to protect operators
- Smart devices for efficient data collection
- Retrofit of industrial automation controls onto existing equipment installations
Today’s automation control systems can monitor and log everything from energy demand to equipment run time and parts temperatures, and the advanced reporting tools available with many of today’s options can be used to streamline operations and make better management decisions. Equipment that we can supply with automation and control systems include the following:
- TipTrak™ bucket elevators. TipTrak™ bucket elevators provide the gentlest handling, least spillage, lowest maintenance, and quietest operation of any bucket conveyor system.
- Powderflight aeromechanical conveyors. Unsurpassed flexibility, speed and reliability in an aeromechanical conveyor.
- UniFlex flexible screw conveyors. An economical way to move product with less time and less space.
- Bagstander bulk bag dischargers and fillers. Experience safe, controlled, dust-free operations while emptying or filling bulk bags.
