The challenge

High energy costs and comprehensive safety requirements

The requirements of the variety of processes in sludge treatment, such as sludge digestion, thickening, and drying, are constantly being further developed. Efficiency, transparency, and process reliability in particular are top priorities in the sewage sludge drying process. Optimum sludge management requires systems specifically intended for a more efficient process flow as well as safe digestion tower and sludge pump control.

Solution

Safety concept for centrifuges

Safety PLC for PROFIsafe networks

PROFIsafe devices are managed centrally by a higher-level safe controller. It is therefore possible to implement safe groups or safe individual shutdowns. In the event of an overspeed or the actuation of an emergency stop control device, the PROFIsafe controller triggers disconnection via the PROFIsafe devices. The centrifuge drives and any linked units, such as sludge pumps, are stopped.

Motor manager

Detect critical load states early and protect the motor and high-quality system components at the same time.

Safety relay modules and sensors

Do you want to integrate safety-related systems to minimize malfunctions and downtimes? Using safety relay modules, you can reliably implement safety functions in machines and systems. They monitor signals from emergency stop buttons, light grids, and safety door switches, and initiate a safe state where necessary.
