Drying Co-operative Sensebezirk, Tafers, Switzerland

The plant con­sists of two dry­ing lines. They date back to the years 1982 and 1992 and used to be ope­ra­ted through mimic dia­grams befo­re the update. We moder­nis­ed the com­ple­te con­trol system. All the con­trol cabi­nets inclu­ding the low-vol­ta­ge main dis­tri­bu­ti­on board were repla­ced. For this pur­po­se, an enti­re­ly new pro­cess con­trol system was imple­men­ted and put into service.
