At TEPRO, we delivered a turnkey automation project that feeds an entire machine park from a single central point for a domestic manufacturer. Engineered to the scale of the requirement, the system comprises 10 dryers, more than 90 loaders, dosing units and central distribution tables.
Dried material is transferred automatically and in sync from one central point to every production line. The solution combines the motan technology we represent with TEPRO's hands-on engineering experience.
System Components
Dryers, loaders and dosing units serve every production line simultaneously through central distribution tables, so each line is fed continuously and with the correct recipe.
Drying line
Ten swift-series dryers bring the raw material to standard moisture levels before processing — which means a stable process and consistent part quality.
Automatic conveying
More than 90 loaders deliver dried material to the machines on demand, with no operator intervention.
Dosing
Precise dosing units automatically set the ratios of base material, additives and masterbatch according to the recipe.
Central distribution
Central distribution tables manage which material goes to which line from a single point, error-free.
Key Benefits of the System
- Manual raw-material mixing and the need for multiple operators were eliminated.
- In-plant forklift and pallet-truck traffic ended; occupational safety increased and accident risks were minimised.
- Recipe data was standardised, preventing quality deviations, high scrap rates and uncontrolled material loss.
- Additional costs tied to cleaning, area contamination and the search for skilled operators were reduced.
