TME 采购经理 Carlo Lamantea 解释道：“单件包装的应用领域每年都在增加，而非仅局限于食品行业。” “其应用范围还延伸到了塑料组装、制药业、医疗行业、化妆品行业和其他许多行业。” TME 的胶囊包装系统 HTS 的设计旨在扩大生产能力并满足最高的效率标准。

轻松集成伺服驱动器

除了每分钟生产 280 至 1200 个胶囊外，“这个系统可以处理所有胶囊型号和不同的材料，如塑料、可降解材料和铝。”Lamantea 补充道。“这意味着咖啡以及粉状饮料、茶和药用茶都可以进行包装。” TME 选择 Festo 作为合作伙伴，是因为 Festo 提供了一系列新型无刷式伺服系统 CMMT 和 EMMT，能够与基于 EtherCAT 技术的 TME 控制平台无缝集成。

Festo 无刷式电机驱动的螺旋输送系统可对咖啡进行分拣和密封。Festo 应用销售工程师 Gabriele Barbarini 解释道：“我们的目标是采用市场上最好的技术解决方案提高（高端）胶囊包装机 HTS 的生产能力。”

Energy saving webinars

"The support from Festo support has also extended to the development of electric automation components. This has enabled us to produce high-performance machines that are also characterised by saving energy consumption. The machines from TME stand for durability and sustainability and take individual customer requirements into account," emphasises Purchasing Manager Lamantea. "Festo started by advising us on pneumatic solutions, and then also supported us over time with the development of the best mechatronic solutions for our HTS production lines. They have provided us with support during face-to-face meetings, but also in the form of many webinars on topics such as energy saving and machine safety, which the experts from Festo have organised over the last two years."

It is worth noting that TME has had an automatic shutdown system for production breaks in place in its plants for more than twenty years. "This allows us to recover the energy that is generated by the brushless motors during braking and feed it into the common energy bus and, thanks to Festo, optimise compressed air management," explains sales expert Alice Magnani.

Energy efficiency module MSE6

"TME has integrated the new modules of MSE6 series into some of its projects specifically for compressed air optimisation," confirms Festo Project Engineer Gabriele Barbarini. That is how solutions have been found that can be seamlessly integrated into the compressed air preparation units, allowing consumption to be monitored and energy wastage to be reduced.
