The two slow mixing shafts are balanced and removable by means of a coupling joint bolted to the hub of the planetary box, designed for easy centering and resistant to the high efforts deriving from the very high viscosity of the product to be processed. FARFAL type tools are characterized by the overlapping of the tools themselves in order to improve and speed up various process steps.
The overlapping of the mixing tools during the various phases of the production process makes it possible to optimize the mixing flow, optimize the incorporation of the raw materials, significantly reducing the working times.
Two INDEPENDENT main electric motors give the machine extreme flexibility and a considerable reduction in process times.
The speed variation takes place via an electronic system with frequency converter (inverter) combined with each main electric motor which allows to obtain a high speed range available to the operator and above all to obtain a high torque even at medium/high speed regimes .
- 1 ELECTRIC MOTOR dedicated to the transmission of slow shafts, fixed on an adjustable slide and combined with the parallel axis gearbox with power transmission by pulleys and belts with appropriate profiles and dimensions.
- 1 ELECTRIC MOTOR Dedicated to the planetary box and the rotation of the rotary scraper.
The planetary box is the composition of several gears which allow the rotation of several shafts simultaneously and at the same time gives the mixing and dispersion tools an epicycloidal motion whose kinematic parameters (frequency, intersection and overlapping of the trajectories) obtaining as a final result a totally homogeneous mix in a short time.
The high power-to-weight ratio and the small dimensions guarantee the application of high power to the tools even in relatively small spaces. New criteria have also been used to substantially improve the noise level and wear of the parts.
To obtain high performance, attention has been paid to the efficiency of the gear train and the shape of the exchange surface of the casing to dissipate the heat produced.
The spur gears, are helical profile ground after heat treatment in the outer part while they are splined profile in the inner keying part on the drive shafts and are made of case-hardened and hardened steel. Sealing of the lower planetary box on the part in contact with the product by removable stainless steel casing.
The main structure of the machine consists of a sturdy painted iron plate construction complete with a base plate with appropriate holes for floor fixing.
In the front of the frame stainless steel cladding that facilitates any cleaning operations.
Two columns complete with sliding bushings are attached to the side of the structure in order to house two wear-resistant hard chrome-coated ground movable columns inside them.
This technical solution gives the machine high robustness even in the most critical stages of the production cycle with optimal absorption of vibrations caused by machining tools.
Fixed externally to the machine structure houses the hydraulic power unit complete with electric motor drive and safety devices.
The control unit drives two hydraulic cylinders each complete with safety lock valve.
Hydraulic cylinders are located inside the two fixed columns and are suitable for lifting the entire mixing unit.
The Machine Control System consists of an Industrial Multi Touch Screen type PC on which a SCADA Supervision System is run.
The machine’s control and safety logic is entrusted to a PLC interconnected to the PC via the ProFinet field bus.
The PC is powerful enough to host a state-of-the-art Relationship Database (Microsoft SQL Express) on which the recording of all machine functional parameters and event history (alarms, values of quantities, etc.) takes place.
Through a user-friendly operator interface, the operator will have complete control of the machine’s various functions in a simple and intuitive way by accessing the various control pages.
The PC is arranged to have a dual network interface (configurable by the customer) so that it can be securely interfaced to the corporate network while facilitating access to the Remote Control system by Zanelli personnel.
