​

The system controls completely the thermal treatment plant, that 's divided in the following units (from input to output):

• Elevator belt, that carries the product from the assembly line to the pastorizer, located in the higher side of the machine

• Vibrant feeder, that distributes evenly the no-boxed product on the process belts

• Pastorizer, a room where the suitable temperature to the thermic treatment is reached through a steam circuit. Here the product received more steam in order to avoid dryness

• Vibrant dripping, the necessary step to dry the no-boxed product after the thermal treatment

• Drying-room, a room with controlled temperature and humidity, where the product is dried

• Cooling-chamber, a room with controlled temperature, where the product is cooled

​

Moreover, the control system co-ordinates the whole production line and consequently it communicates with following systems:

• Steam production system for the thermal treatment

• Refrigerating system

• Machines used before the thermal treatment

• Machines used after the thermal treatment

This system allows a completely automatic control of the line, mainly for the following operations:

• System starting

• System stopping

• Maintenance of the functioning conditions

• Management of alarms that don't require system stopping

• Management of alarms that require system stopping

• Emergency system stopping

• Washing and drying (system maintenance)
