Automation of testing rooms for heat pumps and chillers.

For more than ten years, we offer automation and assistance to companies that make use of test rooms to check their own products or third party products. Tecnoespe has performed many of these works for test rooms dedicated to heat pumps and chillers (air conditioners).

The entire testing process is monitored and controlled by a supervision, which is a program that displays all the data of the cab in real time and in which the operator can perform certain control and management operations.

The reporting system integrated into supervision allows you to collect all the parameters of the machine being checked throughout the test cycle. The generated reports are documents in which all the measurements are given as tables and charts. These reports will be used to certify the testing process of the product.

Tecnoespe - Syrup room automation

In 2009 Tecnoespe Srl realized one of the most modern and sophisticated syrup room. At full speed this plant can produce up to two products (syrups) simultaneously and is also able to serve all seven bottling lines present in the establishment.
Almost all the operations are carried out by automation which is controlled by a Siemens S7-400 CPU in which runs the software developed by Tecnoespe.

PLC software must handle a large number of peripherals:

• about 500 valves
• more than 40 motors
• about 2000 digital input and digital output
• more than 50 PID controller
• and much more.

The automation performs various tasks automatically:

• ingredients mixing
• pasteurization of certain products
• wash the system after each preparation
• preparation of semi-finished products in intermediate silo
• storage of finished goods awaiting bottling
• supply of the products to the various lines of the bottling plant
• etc.

The entire automation process is supervised by Siemens WinCC SCADA software. Two monitors with FULL-HD resolution allow operators to control and oversee the entire syrup room. In addition to these monitors, Tecnoespe provided five thin-client embedded in automation switchboards that surround the syrup room; through these terminals, operators can monitor and control the production process in strategic points of the room, reducing operations times and increasing production .

Detail of a complex series of pneumatic valves; these are used for the distribution of the syrups to bottling lines.
