How does DTS water immersion retort use intelligent control technology to achieve efficient and accurate sterilization process?
1.Parameter setting: the operator uses the human-machine interface (HMI) to set key parameters such as sterilization temperature, pressure, time, etc., which will then be saved in the PLC's memory.
2.Start the sterilization process: when the Water Immersion retort is loaded with the product and the door is closed, the PLC will automatically start the heating process according to the preset parameters.
3.Temperature control: PLC can continuously monitor the temperature fluctuations in the Water Immersion retort by using temperature sensors. The heater's working state is adjusted to ensure temperature stability and accuracy using precise PID control algorithms.
4.Pressure control: the PLC also monitors and controls the pressure inside the Water Immersion retort to ensure that the required pressure level is reached during the sterilization process.
5.Sterilization process monitoring: PLC will continuously monitor the sterilization process to ensure that the temperature and pressure remain within the set range to ensure the sterilization effect.
6.Cooling process: when the sterilization time is reached, the PLC will automatically switch to the cooling program to lower the food temperature through cooling water or other cooling media.
7.Safety protection: the control system is designed with multiple safety protection measures, such as over-limit protection for temperature and pressure to prevent damage to water immersion Retort and products.
8.Recording and traceability: modern control systems usually have data recording functions that can record detailed parameters of each sterilization process to facilitate product traceability and quality control.
9.Communication function: PLC can communicate with other factory automation systems (such as SCADA system) to achieve data sharing and remote monitoring.
10.Fault diagnosis: the automated control system can diagnose and display fault information, facilitating rapid troubleshooting and ensuring production continuity.
11.User rights management: the water immersion Retort system may include multi-level user rights management to prevent workers from operating incorrectly.
12.Energy saving optimization: automated control systems of water immersion Retort can reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency by optimizing sterilization process parameters.
The automated control function significantly improves the accuracy, repeatability and safety of the sterilization process, while also promoting the improvement of production efficiency and product quality. The design and implementation of automated control systems usually require professional software programming and hardware configuration to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.
