All about TURBOSTART
Ensuring the quality of the produced film is one of the most critical challenges producers have to face. Therefore the production process needs to be controlled in every significant step. Shutting down and starting up a line demands a deep knowledge of concluding the right steps and adjustments in the correct order.
The new automation modules TURBOSTOP and TURBOSTART support the operator in shutting down and starting up the line in a simple seven-step approach. The intelligent interaction between software and dedicated hardware components ensure an automatic process from shutting down all machine components, securing the film in the line and starting up all components again, until the line is running again.
- Fastest possible shutdown and start up process for a more efficient production
- Minimal operator involvement for ensuring process stability and high end product quality
- Enhanced operator safety through less knife usage during start up process
Compared to a manual shutdown and start up, more than 50% time is saved. TURBOSTART guides the operator through a simple process – all managable on one screen. The intelligent software reduces the more than 500 manual parameter changes to a seven-step process.
Why VAREX II
