Technoelectric completed in July 2022 the implementation of a complex automation system for the control of a ketchup pasteurizer for Orkla Foods Romania.
Our pasteurization plant is based on the technology of the manufacturer SPX – a well-known company in the food industry, an innovative one compared to the previous pasteurization system based on older technology. Among the significant improvements brought by the new technology are higher productivity, much-improved temperature control, and stability over time. The implemented automation system controls all phases of ketchup production, from the recipe preparation to the transfer of the finished product to the packaging machine, including the sanitation programs of the plant (CIP).
Operator interaction with the system is minimal. Thus, his responsibility remains only: starting the preparation process of the selected recipe, starting/stopping the pasteurization process, and starting the CIP sequence, the processes to be carried out automatically, without further intervention.
To optimize the production flow, a series of KPIs have been implemented that can help the beneficiary in identifying the possible causes of losses.
