Seed Pelleting Equipment, Inc.
Design Philosophy low maintenance example: a carbide layer inside the chamber high reliability example: by using direct drives
high accuracy for dosing seed, materials by using digital weighcells Example: gram accuracy dosing glue powder for sugarbeet seed
pelleting
elimination of calibrations where possible standardization when possible reduction of wiring and cables by use of Profibus communication
machine height adaptable to operators connectivity to PC network/SAP - utilizing ethernet, TCP/IP, XML recording of batch data and new recipes on build-in PC management of recipes on network use of barcodes possible automation possible by timings and by process steps constant investment in new functionality

Equipment Project
Automation system PLC is Windows CE based, which makes it simple to exchange
data via XML an industrial PC is incorporated into one of the coating
machines, the coating machines are connected to form anetwork via ethernet
connection between the equipment and SAP is possible,
normally via a separate SQLServer database recipe management on PC network or in SAP possible
