“Especially HV (High Voltage) connectors and cables which need new processing technologies that cannot be transferred simply 1:1 from LV (low voltage) connectors and cables”, Mr. Ringel, Technical Supervisor of Hirschmann, said. “For this, a strong and experienced development is mandatory to keep the project timelines.”
For Hirschmann, it is important to ensure the high stability and reliable production process for safety parts like connectors and cables. motan with its broad product portfolio provides many solutions that meet Hirschmann’s requirements.
Globally, Hirschmann has in each plant a motan central drying and conveying system in use with mainly two LUXOR A dry air generators that work in parallel (reliability). Due to each local requirement, different number, and volumes of silos. “They are connected with hundreds of METRO Gs. Finally, all of these are controlled via the CONTROLnet system,” Mr. Ringel said.
There is also a separate “motan room” in Hirschmann Nantong plant, which incorporates a complete set of dosing and mixing, drying and conveying system from GRAVICOLORs to METRO G, LUXOR A and conveying pipes, with its unique industrial blue. The system consists of four LUXOR A dry air generators that provide 50 to 400 liters of dry air for eight LUXOR bin A silos.
“motan’s central drying and conveying system brings process stability, perfectly avoiding the risk of material contamination and reducing the risk of humidity fluctuations. More importantly, we could avoid material errors,”
Mr. Ringel explained. “The piping system is used to convey materials to silos. In the past, we used the coupling table system to allow operators to flexibly choose materials manually. However, this system has a risk that materials may be incorrectly selected during operation and conveyed to the machine for incorrect mixing. motan provides us with RFID coupling tables to avoid wrong materials conveyed to machines and reduce human error.”
