Trim Saw Safety Upgrade
Upgrading of the tenon saw, (the system actually has 8 saw motors, 4 on each side of the job), was a technically complex project that required experience in converting systems from analogue/mechanical to solid state. The system previously had little in the way of safety controls with an outdated lanyard and an 'enclosure' you could step through. The upgrade included intrinsic, CAT 4 door locks and a waste discharge conveyor. A timing cycle was placed in the system to allow for motor 'run-down' time prior to entering the new enclosure.
Dowell's National Health and Safety Manager said "Mobile Electrics presented as a professional, well managed business, and completed the job on time and on budget. Over 2 years of operation has seen no service calls or reliability issues which, in a manufacturing environment, is critical to our plant efficiency.
The end result for us has been a vastly improved safety system that our operators are comfortable with, improved efficiency, and a robust, stable operating system."

Mobile Electrics was recently commissioned to complete an Ex rated hazardous zone project for one of Mondelez's (ex Kraft) Victorian facilities. Outcome of this project was to minimise the amount of waste produced through smart recycling procedures within the starch recovery process.
Installation of the hazardous equipment was carried out on Mogul's A, B and C which entailed the attachment of sieves capturing all redundant starch to be reutilised in the process. The arrangement of the sieves was used to distinguish between material that was waste, and that of which could be recycled.
The installation of Ex rated switchgear and associated components was integrated seamlessly with the existing PLC and HMI system.
An electrical inspection was performed prior to energising the system as required by Australian Standards for works in hazardous zones.
