Tamtron (former Lahti Precision) updated the Kinnusen Mylly’s control system. The need for a subscriber to reform the system was happened because of hard-to-claim support of an old control. The current control was carried out with the Siemens Simatic S7-1500 programmable logic. The system was selected on the customer’s wish and the choice was supported on Tamtron’s long-term experience with Siemens-based control systems. At the same time, the old totalizing hopper scales were renewed for new MID-directive automatic scales.
Problem: Flour loading control was outdated and spare parts and skills were under the stone
The need for a subscriber to reform was born to the old control because of hard-to-claim support. The current control was carried out with the Siemens Simatic S7-1500 programmable logic. The system was selected on the basis of the customer’s wish and the choice of support Tamtron’s long-term experience with Samsung-based control systems. At the same time, the old totalizing hopper scales were renewed for new MID-directive automatic scales.
What benefits were achieved with the new system?
With the new system, adaptability and usability improved. The updating of remote connections enables a faster and more flexible service, which is technically based on the data obtained from the device level.
How did the modernization go?
Production Director Toni Kuure:
“It was worth mentioning in modernization that it was a tight timetable that was passed on to the introduction. The system exchange was designed to interfere with as little as possible productive activity. For the sake of modernization, bulk loading was only three days in the standing, only one of which was commonplace. “
Kinnusen Mylly from Utajärvi, Finland, grinds the high-quality wheat, rye and barley flour, as well as diversified organic products, which raw material is always pure and high-quality cereal from northern Finland.
Tamtron Ltd delivers automation and data collection systems to various industries.
