Keller HCW to be Forward Looking at CERAMITEC
Keller HCW GmbH (Ibbenbueren-Laggenbeck, Germany) says it has planned future-oriented solutions for the brick industry for its presentation at CERAMITEC 2006 (16-19 May 2006, Munich, Germany).
On the mechanical engineering side, an absolutely new innovation is the universal cutter with a 5 wire side cut (i.e. cutting up to 5 bricks simultaneously) and includes a 4-side chamfering device. Up to 12,000 facing bricks or pavers per hour can be cut.
As far as automation systems are concerned, Keller HCW plans a number of exhibits:
-- up-to-date K-matic process computer systems for tunnel kiln, tunnel dryer, chamber dryer and machine visualisation.
-- follow-up of materials with car position protocols and historical data profiles.
-- management information system for the determination of machine outputs, consumptions, cost calculations, maintenance plans etc.
-- fully automatic data back-up and data filing of process computer systems and control systems.
-- programming and fault finding by means of W-LAN and programming server.
-- preparation of setting patterns and three-dimensional graphical support.
-- automatic calculation of electronic cam discs for universal cutter.
The company will also feature a measuring system for the determination of moisture in clay. A new product penetrating microwave principle allows for the dense and weight independent measuring of surface and volume moisture of bulk clay. The system can be integrated into existing plants without any problem, says the company.
All machines and systems are being exhibited in operation on the stand of parent company CERIC Group in Hall B5 at CERAMITEC.
