Danish chewing gum maker integrates processes via new automation system

Article Abstract:

Dandy Chewing Gum, a Vejle, Denmark-based company, has integrated gummaking processes via a new automation system. The object-oriented automation system is primarily controlled by Siemens S5 programmable logic controllers (PLC) using modular sequenced PLC programming. The standard human-machine interface for all production machines is Wonderware InTouch, allowing similar functionality across the facility. Radio frequency devices read the barcoded identification lot numbers and weight of materials as they move through the processes. Six Siemens S5 135-U Series PLCs, connected in an H1 network, manage batching and production operations.

Recapturing exhaust gases cuts consumption in half

Article Abstract:

Wayne Farms Inc., a chicken processing company, is able to reduce CO2 consumption of its spiral freezer by 50% by capturing some of the exhaust nitrogen gas from its immersion freezer. Essential in the system is the large temperature difference between the operating temperature of a spiral freezer, which is at -80 deg F or warmer, and the exhaust gas temperature of immersion freezers, which is usually at -250 deg F or colder. Putting the very cold exhaust gas from the immersion freezer into a CO2 spiral freezer cuts the amount of CO2 necessary to keep spiral temperature.
