Various container sizes and heights

Over the years, different containers have become established in production at Maestrani: large, small, sometimes with rollers, sometimes without, sometimes completely open, sometimes closed with a manhole opening. Of course, it was no longer possible to reduce this abundance of containers to a standard container for the stirring process. The agitator therefore had to be able to adapt to the containers.

Our solution:

The first step was to measure all the containers. We were then able to divide them into three categories. For each category, we defined the necessary dimensions for the space in front of the stand agitator. We used the data to construct a base frame with devices that could be folded in and out. These container mounts ensure that the respective container stands securely. Sensors check that the container and the stand fit together and call the digital, touch-based eco-Control automatically retrieves the appropriate data to enable the stirring process.

Various fill levels

The different container sizes naturally resulted in different fill levels.

Our solution:

In order to do justice to this, the size of the agitator also had to be adapted. To do this, we developed special attachments at different heights and in different numbers on the agitator shaft. The cups of the agitator can now be attached and removed quickly and easily. For optimum organization of the process, the stand agitator has a practical suspension system within easy reach for the cups that are not currently required.

Here is the finished system on site at Maestrani.
