At its Hagenow plant, Emsland Food GmbH processes 290,000 tons of potatoes a year. This is possible only with the help of a reliable conveyor system that moves the incoming tubers to storage and transports them to production.
More than 200 motor starters from Siemens contribute to the efficient operation of the kilometer-long conveyor system, making life easier not only for the producer but also for the control panel manufacturer.
Modern Simatic ET 200SP motor starters provide the end user with a powerful, highly available, and compact feeder.
Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Mielke, owner/operator of Dr. Günther Schaltanlagen GmbH in Hartha, Germany
A complex conveyor system with kilometer-long loading and unloading lines transports incoming potatoes to the silos and then to production. The system is driven by 224 electric motors and can store 180 tons of potatoes per hour. It is controlled by a Simatic-S7 controller.
