As a solution partner of Siemens, integrator Heveco chose, among other things, for more than a hundred of Sinamics frequency controls. “They are all of the same G120 type, in order to simplify the work of the Farm Frites Technical Service through this standardization in the event of any malfunctions. After all, this way they become familiar with it faster and it also offers advantages for spare parts. The modular concept of these drives – with a separate power and control section – also contributes to ease of maintenance.”

In addition to doubling the production capacity and expanding with coating options, the renewed production line also excels in food safety, efficiency and ease of maintenance.
For example, less cabling is required, thanks to the high degree of integration between the various components – including safety-integrated.
In addition, this concept – in which the safety functions are fully integrated into the controller – also ensures a perfectly harmonized connection to the Simatic controllers via PROFIsafe. The safety concept also makes it possible to easily place the different drives in safety groups and ensures improved diagnoses.
The result is shorter commissioning and lower costs due to less wiring and more efficient engineering. The standardization on the Sinamics G120 frequency controls makes the work of the technical service and the management of spare parts a lot easier.
And thanks to their modular design, the controls are very easy to maintain. The Simatic ET200SP I/O islands pave the way for possible future expansions, while the integrated safety programming guarantees peace of mind and an improved safety concept: the different drives can easily be placed in safety groups.
Add to that the attention for energy efficiency and recovery, as well as the improved diagnostic options, and the future of Farm Frites and frozen chips seems guaranteed.
