High efficiency and low power consumption
With a company tradition respectful of environment, Caccia Engineering suggest all their machines with the Eco Friendly trademark, which identifies the continuous commitment of the Italian manufacturer in terms of environment sustainability with the development of high-efficiency and low energy consumption machines.
The achievement of such development consists in equipments with low operating costs due to low energy, air and gas consumptions and to the optimization of all mechanic and electric parts. Thanks to the aid of Sensorless-Vector inverters with Energy-Saving function, specific software, digital burners and advanced devices, operating savings from 30% (for turbo mixers) to 38% (for rotational ovens) are granted, compared to traditional solutions.
For all its machines the company has chosen to entrust the complete automation to last generation PLC combined with industrial IP65 PC without fan, with touch screen LCD and equipped with solid-state disks that grant maximum levels of flexibility and reliability with a free of charge remote assistance service. Easydrive V13 and SmartVision have been adopted as operator interface software respectively for rotational ovens and turbo mixers. Both are ergonomic and enhanced and it is possible to arrange the complete diagnostic of all devices.
Rotational ovens have been studied to improve their thermo-dynamic characteristics, removing the few thermal bridges. The Turbo Fan System (TFS) for the management of the main oven electro-fan has been improved, which allows an automatic capacity control and variable pressures inside the moulding chamber. The TFS even grants temperatures with real quick heating times. It comes out a decrease by 14%of the moulding times and, more in general, a reduction of the production costs.
A particular attention has been given to the containment of heat dispersion, both with the adoption of new containing gaskets and with the innovative Exhaust Gas Modulation (EGM) system, which allows modulating discharge fumes. Such system allows the scavenging of the single unburnt fumes (CO and NOx) that are continually present in each cycle steep, but without distorting the amount of hot air circulating. Special sensors and other safety devices keep the complete process continuously monitored, keeping optimal combustion parameters.
The EGM and TFS systems, together with the use of a digital burner, increase of an additional 8%the total efficiency of the combustion and heating equipment on the rotational ovens. The modern techniques for corpuscles analysis allowed optimizing the raw material vorticity flows, reducing cycle times. Both solutions together give a higher number of cycles/hour and a better quality of the final compound.
