in a Leading UAE Coffee Processing and Packaging Plant
In 2017, our customer embarked on a strategic initiative to optimize its nitrogen handling processes within its production facilities. At the core of this initiative was the automation of nitrogen supply valve operations, which were previously managed manually. The primary goals of this project were to improve operational efficiency, enhance safety measures, achieve cost savings, and ensure consistent product quality through precise control of nitrogen flow rates.
SCOPE: Optimizing nitrogen handling in a premium coffee processing and packaging plant
WHO: Premium coffee producer
WHAT: Nitrogen tank opening and closure
HOW: Pneumatic Ball Valve with actuator
WHERE: Dubai, UAE
WHEN: 2017 – Present
Overcoming Nitrogen Management Challenges
Before automation, our customers faced challenges with manual valve operation, including inconsistent nitrogen flow rates, potential safety hazards, and operational inefficiencies from constant monitoring and adjustment. The automation project aimed to address these issues with clear objectives: enhancing customization by tailoring nitrogen flow rates to specific production needs, increasing reliability through consistent, error-free nitrogen supply, enhancing safety by reducing risks associated with manual handling, and achieving cost savings and operational efficiency by improving resource utilization and reducing downtime.
Our Solution
To meet these objectives, we proposed the Pneumatic Ball Valve with Actuator PKO-3/2-040-D068 from our product range, which offers a range of benefits. The pneumatic actuator allows automated valve control based on predetermined signals, eliminating manual intervention and enhancing precision in nitrogen flow control.
Designed for industrial applications, the actuator and valve ensure long-term reliability and durability. Automation reduces the risk of human error, enhances safety, and ensures compliance with stringent food processing standards. This system also improved operational efficiency by maintaining a consistent nitrogen supply, enhancing productivity, and reducing production costs.
