Tyre Recycling Plant Automation

In a tyre recycling line, each unit's operation depends on the equipment supplying and receiving its material. In the PLC software, we define operating interlocks for shredders, raspers, steel separation and rubber granulation units together with conveyors. Start and stop sequences for individual areas are prepared according to equipment layout and material flow.

Speed adjustment and start-stop control based on motor current and load information are assessed using the existing drives and sensors. The project defines which information is measured and which control action is linked to it. The control software scope is thus matched to the equipment and signals actually available at the plant.

Screening rubber granules by particle size, operating filtration units and transferring classified material to the appropriate outlet are included in the line control sequence. We define operating conditions for screens, filters and conveying equipment according to material flow.

For bag filling, the target weight, weighing data and filling start/stop conditions are configured in the PLC and operator interface. Filling equipment interlocks are engineered together with signals from the weighing system and material transfer along the line.

Operators monitor line unit status and available measurements on HMI/SCADA screens. Monitoring points such as motor load, temperature and production counters are displayed according to the plant measurement infrastructure. Automatic operation and manual intervention functions are arranged together with equipment operating conditions.

We display overcurrent, blockage and motor temperature warnings alongside the relevant unit. Alarm history allows previous events to be reviewed. Operator permissions, available commands and report information are defined during project design; the same intervention rights are not assumed for every user.

For an existing line retrofit, we examine the PLC program, HMI screens, control panel and field connections together. We define the software scope through the sequence to be changed, the information the operator needs and fault records. Work requiring panel or wiring changes is assessed separately.

• Updating PLC software and operating conditions between units.
• Upgrading HMI/SCADA screens and alarm descriptions.
• Electrical control panel checks, cable checks and panel testing.
• On-site commissioning and checking the line operating sequence.

We provide plant status monitoring, remote control and report access from a phone or computer. The accessible screens, data to be monitored and available commands are defined according to the line infrastructure and business requirements.

For remote technical service, we connect through the customer's computer or a remote access device when the customer provides internet access. The connection can be used to review software and assess fault information. Work requiring on-site measurement, wiring or equipment intervention is identified separately in the technical assessment.

Engineering is based on the equipment list, material flow and existing sensor and drive details. Commissioning checks cover unit operating sequences, status information displayed on screen and alarm notifications. Operator training covers using the screens and monitoring line status.

PLC/HMI program backups, electrical drawings, an operating manual and operator training are included in our standard handover. For a retrofit request, sharing existing program backups and drawings helps identify what will be retained and changed.

Can the automation of an existing tyre shredding line be upgraded?

We assess the retrofit according to the existing PLC/HMI, drives, sensors and panel connections. Software or screen changes alone may be sufficient; the review determines whether hardware and wiring changes are needed.

What information should I share for an automation quotation?

Share the plant location, equipment list, material flow and your new installation or retrofit request. For an existing system, PLC/HMI and drive details, electrical drawings, panel photographs and the operating steps you want to change help with the assessment.
