Filling Machines

Control system development

Altus' programmable controller technology was chosen to equip Josmaq's new filling machines, contributing to the automation of the new line of high-precision machines aimed at the production of yogurts and dairy beverages.

Precision filling powered by Altus technology

Developed collaboratively by the client’s engineering team and our OEM specialists, the architecture applied to the Josmaq filling machines features the XP300, a programmable controller from the XP family, as the centerpiece of the control system.

The XP300 was selected for its high performance and versatility, offering 16 digital inputs, 16 digital transistor outputs, an Ethernet port, an RS-485 serial channel, a CAN port, and a USB interface. With its high I/O density, the Xpress PLC seamlessly interacts with the equipment that controls various machine processes.

Enhanced precision

Optimized sensors ensure accurate bottle positioning at each stage of the filling process

Supervision

The HMI integrated into the machines is used for both recipe input and process monitoring

Data Collection

Real-time monitoring of operational variables through smart sensors, providing up-to-the-minute data

Total dedication

Altus provides an exceptional customer experience, enabling users to develop highly efficient, tailored solutions

High-precision control and monitoring architecture

The system features a 7” touchscreen HMI from the P2 family, six E3 frequency inverters from the Optidrive series, and a sequence of sensors and solenoid valves. The HMI is used for recipe input and system monitoring, communicating with the controller via the Modbus TCP protocol.

The frequency inverters control the conveyor belt, table rotation mechanism, and the four pumps and dosing nozzles that handle the yogurt filling. These devices receive commands through a CANopen network connected to the embedded CAN interface in the Xpress PLC.

Additionally, sensors track the precise position of bottles at each stage of the filling process, while solenoid valves, triggered by the fast outputs on the XP300, control the yogurt flow into each bottle.

Expertise and availability: the strengths of our OEM team

Joziel Pereira dos Santos, owner of Josmaq, highlights the ease of programming the XP PLCs and the availability of the team of specialists as key differentiators for Altus in the execution of this project. According to him, the high technology of the products, combined with the experience of the specialists on our OEM team, led to a significant improvement in performance in this new line of machines. "I am extremely satisfied with Altus products," says Joziel, concluding by saying that "the service is 100%."

Our OEM team, composed of experienced professionals, has been helping manufacturers across the country optimize their machinery performance. From start to finish, our team is there to identify needs, propose improvements, and even assist with application development when necessary.
