Computer Controlled Liquid Packaging Teaching Unit

The Computer Controlled Liquid Packaging Teaching Unit, unit is a liquid and semi-dense products dosing machine based on dose delivery through a pneumatically-operated cylinder.

EDLC — Computer Controlled Liquid Packaging Teaching Unit

(for main items)

• With this unit there are several options and possibilities:
• Main items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
• Optional items: 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
• Let us describe first the main items (1 to 6):
• 1EDLC. Unit:
  Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.
  The unit includes wheels to facilitate its mobility.
  Main metallic elements made of stainless steel.
  Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the
  elements similar to the real one.
  Liquid and semi-dense products dosing machine based
  on dose delivery through a pneumatically-operated
• cylinder:
  Two cylinders with dosing nozzles with anti-drip system.
• Compressed air pressure: 6 – 8 bar.
• Dosing accuracy: ≤ 2 %.
• Dose range: 100 – 1000 ml.
• Air consumption: 370 l/min.
• Approximate production: ≤ 29 dose per minute. (*)
  The production will be influenced by the product, the
  selected dose, the configuration of the machine, etc.
  Air flow regulators to modify the lowering/lifting speed
• Unit: EDLC
  of the dosing nozzles.
  Air flow regulators to modify the closing/opening speed of each dosing nozzle.
  Dose adjusting handle.
  Air flow regulators to modify the speed of each cylinder.
  Compressed air filter and regulator.
  Compressed air manometer.
  Eight limit switches.
  Three displacement sensors.
  Manual (with a pedal) or automatic operation mode.
  Safety pushbutton.
• The complete unit includes as well:
  Advanced Real-Time SCADA and PID Control.
  Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.
  Specialized Control Software based on LabVIEW.
  National Instruments Data Acquisition board (250 KS/s, kilo samples per second).
  Calibration exercises, which are included, teach the user how to calibrate a sensor and the
  importance of checking the accuracy of the sensors before taking measurements.
  Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and
  demonstrated to an entire class at one time.
  Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.
  Remote operation and control by the user and remote control for technical support,
  are always included.
  Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic & Software).
  Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.
  Optional ICAI software to create, edit and carry out practical exercises, tests, exams,
  calculations, etc. Apart from monitoring user's knowledge and progress reached.
  This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is
  the Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously
  operate many units in a network.
