1. Real – world Case
In a large – scale food and beverage production facility, the 3ASC25H203 was employed in the control system of a filling machine. This filling machine was responsible for accurately filling bottles with a carbonated beverage.
One day, during a high – volume production run, the sensors detected a change in the viscosity of the beverage due to a minor variation in the raw material batch. This change in viscosity could potentially affect the filling accuracy, leading to over – filled or under – filled bottles.
The 3ASC25H203, which was connected to these sensors and the filling nozzles’ control valves, immediately received the data about the viscosity change. It quickly processed this information using its pre – programmed algorithms.
Based on the analysis, the 3ASC25H203 sent control signals to the filling nozzles’ control valves. It adjusted the opening time and pressure of the valves to ensure that the correct amount of beverage was filled into each bottle.
As a result, despite the change in beverage viscosity, the filling machine continued to operate with high accuracy. The number of defective bottles was minimized, and the production line maintained its high – speed and efficient operation.
2. Applications
- Food and Beverage Industry: Beyond filling machines, it can be used in other food and beverage production processes such as mixing, cooking, and packaging. It helps in controlling parameters like temperature, pressure, and ingredient ratios to ensure product quality and consistency.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the 3ASC25H203 can be used to control the production of tablets, capsules, and liquid medications. It ensures precise dosing, mixing, and packaging, meeting strict quality and safety standards.
- Chemical Industry: For chemical production plants, it can be used to control chemical reactions, monitor and adjust the flow of raw materials, and maintain the proper temperature and pressure conditions in reactors.
3. Weight and Dimensions
- Weight: The 3ASC25H203 weighs approximately 1.2 kg. This relatively light weight makes it easy to handle during installation and maintenance, especially when mounting it in a production line environment.
- Dimensions: It has dimensions of about 180 mm in length, 130 mm in width, and 45 mm in height. These compact dimensions allow it to be easily installed in standard control cabinets or on DIN rails, saving space in industrial control rooms.
