The risk analysis from Pilz showed that appropriate protective measures needed to be taken on the assembly cell for the two intervention areas as well as the five maintenance flaps. As the required safety solution was to be flexible, modular and expandable for use on similar plants, the decision went in favour of the configurable …
From the storeroom, several tonnes of paper reels travel across the production plant’s operating area because, due to lack of space, the plant is built “back to front”. That’s why each reel must be inserted manually by an operator, with a considerable loss of efficiency. Also, for reasons of infrastructure, the plant had been reset …

The safe solution applied at EuroChem comprises a radar system and PSSuniversal PLC controller from the automation system PSS 4000. Six radar sensors are attached to each of the conveyor’s six discharge points. They reliably detect all movements in the surrounding area. Each discharge point has its own control unit, which interprets the sensors’ signals …
