rapid production for demanding consumers ABB will bring together the elements of a ‘factory of
A
the future’ at PPMA 2019, at the Birmingham NEC, 1st – 3rd October 2019, demonstrating how its latest automation and robotics technologies can transform performance in food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Stand F80 will feature examples from ABB’s
extensive automation and digital portfolio, showing how tomorrow’s factory will be able to respond rapidly to changing customer demands, while maintaining profitability, safety and quality. Among the demonstrations will be ABB’s SCARA
demo cell, showing how the precision, repeatability and rapid cycle time of ABB’s IRB 910SC (SCARA) robot can bring flexibility to pick and place and packaging applications. Another robot cell will show how humans and automated production lines can work together efficiently and safely. Companies looking to build flexible automation solutions can view the PLC range.
BB to show how the ingredients of an advanced factory come together to achieve customized, yet
Stand F80 will also feature ABB’s WiMon
Conditioning Monitoring System and the new NiTemp, a non-invasive temperature sensor. Maximising uptime of motors, pumps and bearings is
made easier with ABB Ability Digital Powertrain, which reads data to enable effective and timely maintenance. Also on show will be ABB’s range of emergency lighting, cable ties and details of ABB’s service offerings. “Today’s consumers want products that are tailored
to their needs faster than ever before. The factory of the future must therefore respond much more dynamically to ever-changing consumer requirements,” says Nigel Platt, LBL Manager, UK and Ireland – ABB Robotics.

working examples of the Silverson Batch, Ultramix and Laboratory mixers including the Verso, a bench-top In-Line mixer. Also on the stand will be Silverson’s powder/liquid
mixing system the Flashmix and the High Viscosity In-Line mixer which has been designed to offer exceptional flow rates and the ability process higher viscosity products. The HV In-Line features a special rotor design which
provides increased capacity when compared to standard In-Line mixers, allowing the processing of higher viscosity products such as gels and can often eliminate the need for additional pumps. If you’d like to discuss your mixing application visit Silverson at stand D20 or email
