Denca has completed the
automation of the control
system for Duerr’s new peanut
butter facility.

Denca produced a
programme which was written
in HMI software and the
control panel built and tested.

A Siemens S7 PLC with three
racks was deployed with
Mitsubiahi inverters as part of
the panel.

A ladder rack was installed
and the cables dropped
through the ceiling using
stainless steel trunking.Denca’s
involvement also extended to
the filling and packaging side
of the facility with the
automation of between 10 and
12 conveyors introducing
automation to this part of the
process for the first time.

Denca’s programmer spent a
week with the operators on site
to ensure they were familiar
and comfortable with the new
system.
