    PROCESS CONTROL

    The lower the variations in the process, the less need to adjust, the lower the variations in the end-result. Continuous mixing means full control over recipe, product quality and development.

    DOUGH QUALITY CONTROL

    Sobatech’s continuous mixers constantly measure the product viscosity inside the mixing chamber. It registers and controls the specific mechanical energy (SME) that is put into the product. This SME value is expressed in Wh/kg and functions as an objective parameter to compare batch and continuous mixing. Also, this figure allows to instantly respond to fluctuations in product quality (e.g. raw material quality). Sobatech’s continuous mixing systems are the only one in the world that constantly monitor the energy in Wh/kg that is put into the product.

    RECIPE MANAGEMENT

    All product specific parameters are collected into recipes. The system can contain over 100 recipes so that a product change-over can be done by the simple push of a button. The complete continuous mixing procedure is monitored and initiated by the control system. This allows the operator to monitor and modify as needed.

    REMOTE CONTROL FACILITY

    The control system can be provided with an industrial internet router. This allows Sobatech to always support remotely. Please note, Sobatech believes in the power of open source software. This means there are no hidden systems and no protected passwords. All screens in the HMI can be open and accessible to the customer.

    MONITORING OF RAW MATERIAL CONSUMPTION

    All systems including the continuous dosing of the seperate ingredients are PLC controlled. The system is completely self-monitoring and self-correcting. Both the process value and set value are monitored and initiated by the control system. The continuous dosing hoppers measure the weight reduction per time unit (based on the  loss-in-weight principle). Sobatech’s software system measures the flow of ingredients multiple times per second. Adjustments are made immediately, making it possible to achieve an extremely consistent dough quality.
