Auger Filling Machine

All-Fill Protein Powder Filling upgrade


Weintek and Siemens S7-1200 PLC and HMI.


Nutritional Blending Solutions were tired of their auger filler breaking down so requested a complete overhaul of their control system.


Weintek HMI (Human Machine Interface) is a product line of Human-Machine Interface devices that allows for communication between humans and machines. The devices are designed to be user-friendly and provide a graphical representation of machine operations. The Weintek HMI devices can be programmed using the Easy Builder Pro software, which is an intuitive and easy-to-use programming environment.


The Process

The machine was fitted with new Pilz sensors and actuators, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the filling process. The new control software was programmed to monitor and adjust filling parameters in real time, ensuring consistent and precise fills every time.


After the overhaul, the machine was put through extensive testing to verify its performance and reliability. The results were impressive, with the auger filler exceeding the client's expectations in terms of speed, accuracy, and durability.


Nutritional Blending Solutions were thrilled with the outcome, as the machine is now operating at peak performance and requires minimal maintenance. They have also seen a significant increase in productivity and a reduction in downtime, resulting in substantial cost savings and increased profitability.


Overall, our solution has enabled Nutritional Blending Solutions to streamline its operations and remain competitive in a fast-paced industry.
