Case Study - 03
Automated Beef Tallow Coating System
Machine Automation - PLC and VFD-based pump speed control for consistent coating application proportional to real-time conveyor and flow data.
All Projects
Machine Automation
Situation
- Manual pump speed adjustment caused uneven coating application
- Material waste and product quality variation each production run
Task
- Automate pump speed based on real-time conveyor & flow data
- Eliminate all manual adjustments during active production
Action
- PLC monitors conveyor and flow sensors continuously
- VFD pump speed adjusted proportionally to product flow rate
- HMI screens built for operator monitoring & override control
Result
- Consistent, even coating on every production run
- Measurable reduction in coating material waste
- Zero manual speed adjustment required during operation
Project Highlights
- Closed-loop pump speed control tied to conveyor and flow conditions
- Operator HMI screens for monitoring, adjustment, and override control
- Automation focused on repeatable product quality and reduced ingredient waste
