ECS Solutions, a Magnum Systems brand and control solutions team, specializes in batch automation. This process manages the integration of dry ingredients with liquids using automated control systems, resulting in reduced errors and increased efficiency. Our cutting-edge solutions seamlessly incorporate advanced sensor technology with precise batch management systems to optimize production efficiency.
The Main Challenge in Batch Processing Dry Ingredients
One of the top challenges in batch processing arises from variations in moisture content within dry ingredients, which can affect recipe accuracy and product quality. To address this issue, Magnum offers advanced solutions that seamlessly integrate advanced sensor technology with precise batch management systems.
Innovative Solutions with Real-Time Monitoring
Online near-infrared (OMNIR) sensors provide real-time feedback for moisture content directly after ingredients are discharged from storage vessels. This innovative approach allows batch automation systems to adjust ingredient ratios and water compensation based on accurate data, ensuring recipes precisely meet specifications. This automated process has significant benefits, from enhancing batch consistency and quality to reducing operator intervention, errors, and waste. Log records meticulously track every adjustment, promoting transparency and reducing reliance on operator "institutional knowledge."
Batch automation effectively addresses challenges like blending different lots with varying moisture levels and managing the impacts of long-term storage. Our solutions ensure seamless continuity by tracking ingredient genealogy and stabilizing product consistency across various applications. This automation is not limited to dry ingredients—it extends to managing measurable qualities in additional products, such as controlling water content in tomato paste with refractometer technology.
Transforming Material Delivery Across Industries
Magnum's batch automation systems are scalable across industries and adaptable to various applications. From small-scale additions to large-scale tons, our batch automation systems are reshaping the future of material delivery by optimizing processes and reducing time, material, and operational costs.
