Transport air flow control with SACU tobtronic®
To transport bulk materials as gently as possible during pneumatic conveying, our patented SACU tobtronic® is one of the most effective technologies on the market. Equipped with high-tech sensors and precise control technology, the smart software control of SACU tobtronic® ensures reliable and safe transport air flow control. As such, it is an essential component of pneumatic conveying systems for bulk materials from Riedel Filtertechnik. Originally developed for the tobacco industry for the transport of cut tobacco, SACU tobtronic® is considered a proven core technology in cigarette manufacturing. Its wide range of applications has now also earned it a well-deserved place in other industries, such as the tire industry for the pneumatic conveying of silica.
Advantages & Features
transport air flow control using SACU tobtronic®
The SACU tobtronic® technology, consisting of two units, continuously measures the air and bulk material speeds in the pipelines. This allows for the regulation of the material transport to an optimal speed level and conveyance volume, ensuring process-optimized and material-gentle transport. See for yourself the benefits of our patented SACU tobtronic®:
- Dynamic Transport Control: Reliable and demand-based supply of manufacturing machines with raw materials through continuous measurement and control of transport speed and conveyance volume.
- Energy Efficiency through Eco Mode: Automatic optimization of process parameters and energy-efficient control of material transport. Realization of energy savings thanks to the patented Eco Mode.
- Leakage Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of pressure loss in the pipelines. Automatic compensation for leaks caused by production machinery.
- Priority Feeding Mode: Ensures a constant supply of raw materials to production machines through the integrated Priority Feeding Mode.
- Yield Improvement: Gentle transport air control for maximum material yield. Patented and proven technology for low-maintenance and reliable 24/7 continuous operation.
- Minimal Footprint and Easy Integration: Direct installation of SACU tobtronic® units into transport and dust extraction pipelines. Retrofitting into existing production environments is possible.
- Anti-Blockage Control: Early detection and prevention of blockages within the transport lines using the integrated Anti-Blockage Control function. Reliable material transport without production interruptions.
- User-Friendliness and MES Integration: Easy operation of the SACU tobtronic® through an intuitive HMI interface. Capability for integration into MES for central control of production processes.
- Status monitoring via LED: Color-coded indication of the feeding status through integrated LED strips. Quick verification of production status and identification of errors through visual contact during ongoing operations.
SACU tobtronic® in the tobacco industry
Application in cigarette production
To transport cut tobacco as gently as possible during pneumatic transport, our patented SACU tobtronic® is one of the most effective technologies. It increases the tobacco yield in cigarette manufacturing and reduces downtime of cigarette machines. The system continuously measures the air and cut tobacco speed in the feeding line and adjusts the transport to an optimal speed level.
