Malzfabrik Rheinpfalz, Germany

The manu­al germ air con­trol system was repla­ced by a ful­ly auto­ma­tic con­trol system. In the five exi­sting germ lines, the pole-chan­ging elec­tric motors of the fans were repla­ced by pre­mi­um asyn­chro­no­us motors with IE3 effi­ci­en­cy and spe­cial insu­la­ti­on. The manu­al fan flaps were moto­ri­sed and could now be inte­gra­ted into a con­trol con­cept with the adjusta­ble fans. The germ air is con­trol­led depen­ding on the out­side tem­pe­ra­tu­re. The situa­ti­on-depen­dent speed adjust­ment of the fans ulti­m­ate­ly leads to the desi­red ener­gy savings, taking into account the impro­ved effi­ci­en­cy of the motors. The inte­gra­ted con­di­ti­on moni­to­ring system from Dan­foss also enables pre­dic­ti­ve main­ten­an­ce of the motors and ven­ti­la­ti­on dri­ves. The WinCC pro­cess con­trol system and the PM-Qua­li­ty qua­li­ty log­ging system have been upgraded to the latest ver­si­on so that fur­ther opti­mi­sa­ti­ons and main­ten­an­ce can be car­ri­ed out in a future-pro­of manner.
