Innovative Lahti solutions for batch plants
A supplier of industrial weighing and dosing systems for the glass industry, Lahti Glass Technology Oy has developed solutions for batch plants to improve the cleaning of the return belt with belt conveyors, along with an inexpensive way to replace obsolete control system components.
Belt cleaning package supplied by Lahti Glass combines the company’s know-how with the high-quality cleaning devices. In conjunction with correct engineering the devices will prevent leakages caused by the return belt.
Reportedly, customers who have utilised the new cleaning package have had “extremely good” experiences.
To assist long-running batch plants struggling with obsolete control system components, Lahti Glass has developed a versatile Automation Package that enables a company to upgrade its batch plant control system, even while the furnace is running.
Lahti Glass’s new LBC-S and LBC-M batch controllers are designed to replace and fit into the space occupied by the old controllers (obsolete Raute/Lahti-supplied WB950 and WB951 batch controllers, for which spare parts are unavailable).
Users can keep the existing control system mainly ‘as is’; there is no need to modify the PLC or SCADA systems.
The new controllers combine Lahti’s expertise in dosing and weighing systems with Siemens technology, and are offered with support for the whole life cycle of the batch plant.
The Automation package also covers up-to-date systems for SCADA, PLC and remote connection.
