ECS Solutions, a Magnum Systems brand and control solutions team, specializes in batch automation, which manages the integration of dry ingredients with liquids using automated control systems, resulting in reduced errors and increased efficiency. Their cutting-edge solutions seamlessly incorporate advanced sensor technology with precise batch management systems to optimize production efficiency.
The Main Challenge in Batch Processing Dry Ingredients
One of the main challenges in batch processing arises from variations in moisture content within dry ingredients, which can affect recipe accuracy and product quality. ECS offers cutting-edge solutions that address this issue seamlessly, integrating advanced sensor technology with precise batch management systems.
Innovative Solutions with Real-Time Monitoring
ECS uses online near-infrared (OMNIR) sensors to provide real-time feedback for moisture content directly after ingredients are discharged from storage vessels. This innovative approach allows batch automation systems to adjust ingredient ratios and water compensation based on accurate data, ensuring recipes precisely meet specifications. This automated process has significant benefits, from enhancing batch consistency and quality to notably reducing operator intervention, errors, and waste. Log records meticulously track every adjustment, promoting transparency and reducing reliance on operator "institutional knowledge."
Batch automation also supports challenges like blending multiple lots with varying moisture levels or addressing long-term storage impacts. ECS’s precision solutions ensure seamless continuity, tracking ingredient genealogy, and stabilizing product consistency across applications. This automation isn’t limited to dry ingredients—it also extends to managing measurable qualities in additional products, such as controlling water content in tomato paste with refractometer technology.
Transforming Material Delivery Across Industries
Scalable across industries and adaptable to various applications, from small-scale additions to large-scale tons, Magnum’s new offerings in batch automation systems are reshaping the future of material delivery. The expertise in combining material analysis with industry-leading batch processing makes ECS a valuable new addition to the Magnum family of brands by optimizing processes and reducing time, material, and operational costs.
