Tobacco Pipe Blockage Prevention and Choke-up Alarming
The objective of this function is to minimize Maker down time due to Maker «No Tobacco» and pipe blockage reason.
If vacuum pressure is generated at tobacco transfer pipe (when Maker demand is ON) but, low air
speed is measured for certain period (adjustable) PARS consider this situation as potential blockage
and activates blockage opening measures as below.
- Generates and early warning signal for Maker operator to check the status via PARS HMI screen
(Alarming in Visual Sound) before maker actually stops - Maximizes Fluctuates vacuum pressure (As very fast valve ON OFF action) to release potential
blockage in the pipe at the early stage via exposing high vacuum pressure shock effect (Squeeze
release)
01 – Measurement & Regulation of Air speed in pneumatic product transfer pipe.
Process stability in feeding process while ensuring lowest air speed during dynamic system changes,
02 – Feeding duration definition and process optimization for each Maker.
The PARS program monitors the feeding duration and cycle of the Maker machine and issues a warning alarm to the operator if the pre-defined feeding duration is exceeded within consecutive
04 – Maker air leakage ratio indication & Warning for electronic technicians.
The objective of this function is to control Maker hopper leakage, warn operator at the early phase of possible leakage and avoid pressure loss leading to instability in feeding process
05 – Minimum pressure presence control allowing to start product transfer.
The objective of this function is also to minimize Maker down time due to Maker «No Tobacco» reason Avoids potential choke up risk in the pipe due to poor capability
06 – Blend security with advanced automation control.
PARS is designed as bridge in between processes It is able to communicate with Primary Servers as well as Maker operators and eliminates wrong tobacco feeding possibility to Maker.
07 – Recipe management flexibility for individual Blend base air speed adjustment flexibility.
This is to support give flexibility to operators to define different settings possibility for each Tobacco type Option.
08 – Predisposed for Data transfer system adaptation to upper SCADA data collection & monitoring systems.
This is to submit reports and help for easy analyses guideline process improvement studies
