Aluminum Recycling
Work at three sites involves the automation of several rotary
gas fired furnaces. Each furnace is equipped with a hydraulic system to
control furnace operation as well as a baghouse for emissions. All operations are completely automatic, controlled by
an Allen-Bradley PLC with a custom graphic interface application provided
for operator interface, trends, reports, and recipe downloads. Both
discrete and analog control is performed with all PID control provided by
the PLC. Communication between the PLC and the operator control station
computer is performed by Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus. Work began
with this client in 1995 and has continued since. Complete turn-key
projects, including electrical installation, have been
provided. Over 110 projects have been provided to this client throughout
three sites.
