Based in Bevern, Germany, Bertram develops and builds equipment including automation solutions for the container glass industry. More specifically, it plans and creates systems that align, separate, and selectively reject bottles and containers at the cold end of the line. Objectives:
Rising output expectations put pressure on existing pusher performance and line availability
Product-flow disruptions led to unnecessary scrap and longer recovery times after faults
Inconsistent operation and long setup times increased complexity for operators and maintenance
Bertram Elektrotechnik realized modular pusher machine concept for plant availability, output, and usability
High-performance drive and control technology from a single source: SINAMICS S7-1514SP-TF, SINAMICS 210, SIMATIC ET 200, and SIMOTICS S-1FK2
TIA Portal enabled automatic parameter adjustment & rapid recovery
End-to-end engineering in TIA Portal, uniform HMI concept, & mobile HMI
The new pushers allow us to run more cycles per minute, so our output across all container sizes has now gone up by 25 percent on average.
Marcel Bock, Cold End Engineering R&D Team Leader at Heinz-Glas
25% higher average output across all container sizes
50% reduction in fault-related reject rates for glass flacons
Standardized operation, faster troubleshooting, and improved ease of use across all pusher system
