PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
INGERSOLL-RAND COMPRESSOR CONTROLS
Our engineering group provided electrical engineering services in the design of a control system to control and monitor an Ingersoll-Rand CENTAC compressor. This system consisted of using an Allen-Bradley PLC and Panelview 550 graphical operator interface to provide an alternative to the Westinghouse MP3 controller currently used by Ingersoll-Rand. We have since implemented the same control system with other PLC manufacturers.
RHODIA - MONOCAL BLENDING AND CONVEYING
Matrix provided the structural, mechanical and electrical engineering required for the production of a new monocal in an existing process. Major modifications were required to an existing air blending and conveying system and a new separate dust collection system was required to avoid cross contamination between the different products. The dust collection systems for these products were very sophisticated since simultaneous operation was required for the packaging of one product while another was being produced. Matrix provided the engineering for a new control system for the blending, conveying, packaging & dust control system. Matrix also provided total commissioning/start-up support for this system.
EBONITE INTERNATIONAL- SPECIALTY CORE
Provided structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering necessary to design a specialty core production process for bowling balls. The process consisted of bulk bag and box unloading systems utilizing a vacuum convey system flexible screw conveyors, volumetric feeders, weigh bins, and a batch mixer. We also provided the controls expertise and design for batch mixing of over a hundred different recipes of specialty cores. Matrix engineers also performed intensive start-up, check out, and operator training.
AMTROL, INC. - CONTROLS UPGRADE
Provided electrical engineering necessary to specify as well as build and install Allen Bradley PLC’s to replace existing control systems on several production machines for manufacturing refrigerant cylinders. These machines included two pressure testers, two spud welders, hole punch, a convolute punch, and a valve crimper.
AMTROL, INC. - ELECTRO-STATIC PAINTING
Matrix Engineering provided electrical engineering necessary to design, specify as well as build and install a control system for an electro-static painting process. This system consisted of an Allen Bradley SLC 500, 7 slot rack, linear positioner, and AC & DC variable speed drives. Matrix Engineering also performed intensive start-up and checkout, and operator training.
