komag’s new success Recently, Akomag has delivered, installed and tested a new machine intended for washing recycled glass bottles.

The machine for the PepsiCo group is a Hydra 8.2, characterised by very high production: 37,500 bottle/h. The new model, the pride of mechanical Made in Italy, reaches mechanical efficiency equal to 99.4%, successfully exceeding the standards required by the customer in the contractual phase. With this new provision, Akomag confirms itself once again as world leader in the construction of glass bottle washers.

The bottle washer has been specially designed to minimise the environmental impact, with particular attention to water and steam consumptions, and to the duration of the detergent bath. The completely automated wash cycle includes an initial bottle-emptying station followed by a prewash spraying and first pre-soak bath that significantly reduces detergent bath pollution and markedly decreases consumption levels.

In the pre-soak area the project also provides for the installation of a belt filter that allows to automatically remove the main impurities typical of recycled bottles (straws, paper, cigarette butts, for instance). The washing of bottles is completed with the internal and external high-pressure detergent wash sprays, using self-cleaning and self-centring rotating nozzles.

Mains water for spray-rinsing In designing Hydra 8.2, Akomag focused on the final rinsing sprays using mains water.

The expedients developed during the design stage have allowed to achieve extraordinary results. By installing a special valve with integrated flow meter on the mains pipe (controlled directly by the control panel), it is possible to detect the instantaneous and daily water consumption required for the proper washing of the bottles.

EASTERN EUROPE EDITION 2023/2024

With pride and satisfaction, Akomag technicians say that thanks to the new design the new machine has a water consumption equal to 0.098 litres per bottle. A lower value than rigidly imposed in contractual phase by the customer. The supply is completed with many other technological innovations, including sensors for slowing down or stopping the machine in case of missing or clogging of the bottles on the conveyor belts; synchronization systems of the bottle washer speed with that of the filling monobloc; control and introduction of detergent and additives in the washing bath and of sequestrants/disinfectants in the spray tanks; self-cleaning filters in the tanks; automatic bottle loading and unloading, perfectly synchronized with the movement of the main chain.

Akomag is a flexible and dynamic company that bases its policy on customer satisfaction, the quality of its systems, its assistance services and technological innovation. Akomag has been working for several years in the bottling sector and thanks to the proven experience developed in this field, the company can guarantee to its customers maximum yields, user-friendly operation and minimum operational costs, as well as long working life of its machines built with top quality materials. From the province of Parma, Akomag aims to meet the needs of all those who are looking for high-quality products.

or external point, always respecting the environment and reducing pollution by 80%.

For Albrigi plants a special finishing called “High Clean Inside” is used. It is the result of a process that starts from a careful selection of top-quality raw materials, and from the subsequent processing of the sheet metal surface: welds perfectly pierced, subsequently pickled, passivated, flattened, scordoned, rolled, laminated then shaved and mirror polished.

In this way, during the washing processes, any type of obstacle is reduced and consequently is also limited the consumption of water, energy, and detergents.

One of the primary objectives is to keep an eye on technological evolution, on the experimentation of new plants, on the respect of the environment and on the optimization of costs and resources. The plants, composed of tanks made of high-quality stainless steel, are designed and manufactured by trained staff and tested according to European standards.

ini Motor wireless technology: COA – Can Over Air New patented technology known as COA to become the benchmark in the field. Mini Motor was established in 1965 but it wasn’t until 1974 that the company came into being as the industrial electric motor manufacturer it is today.

The company started with metals and electricity, later adding electronics and

computer engineering to its competencies.

Industrial automation and mechatronics were then introduced in the late Seventies and early Eighties. These were two strategic traits for Mini Motor and already in its DNA at the time of its inception.

Research, development, and innovation: COA – Can Over Air, Mini Motor’s new wireless technology.

In 2012, Mini Motor set on a road of R&D and design innovation with the introduction of on-board drives on gearmotors and servomotors. As a result of this, a wide range of products were designed and developed for several years. At the same time, the company was working with various types of fieldbuses, initially with analogue fieldbuses (Canopen and Modbus) and then the more advanced ethernet buses (Profinet, Ethercat, Powerlink and Ethernet IP).

All this led to a considerable reduction of wires and drag chains but, most importantly, to greater electrical panel efficiency, as the drive system was delocalised and built into the motors.

32

EASTERN EUROPE EDITION 2023/2024

In 2018, at the end of this phase, the focus shifted to a new, ambitious, and exciting project: Mini Motor wanted to do more for the general economy of a machine. And so, it created COA - Can Over Air. Mini Motor has developed a proprietary wireless bus based on ZIGBEE technology at 2.4 Mhz that enables wireless control of the motor.

The information is simply sent via a coordinator provided by Mini Motor that acts as a transparent wire, making it possible to remotely manage format changeovers or speed and torque changes.

This new patented technology, known as COA, is set to become the benchmark in the field, just like the wire had been.

The new range will be identified with the letter “W” at the beginning of the code and can be adopted on all Mini Motor products with built-in drives in the DBS and DR series and on the very latest FC - Fast Change range for high-speed format changeover.

Mini Motor always has a foot in the door of the future. Join Mini Motor in this road to innovation
