เกจวัดแรงอัดกระบอกสูบ has built its bovine animal competence middle in Badbergen, Lower Saxony. The cuts of beef are vacuum-packed in thermoforming and shrink-wrap machines, a course of that has become extra efficient than ever following renovations on the site: Now, energy-saving Atlas Copco variable-speed vacuum pumps are used to create vacuum situations at two central stations.What used to be a blended slaughterhouse has turn into a “bovine animal competence center”: For a long time, cattle and pigs had been slaughtered and butchered at the similar time in Badbergen on behalf of different companies. In 2017, the Tönnies Group took over the site and determined to base its entire slaughtering operation in Badbergen – up till that time, this had taken place at the company’s major web site in Rheda-Wiedenbrück. In 2020, Tönnies Beef reopened the site after intensive conversion and renovation. The Group invested around 85 million euro within the building and state-of-the-art expertise at this web site in a small city in northern Lower Saxony, between Oldenburg and Osnabrück. The slaughtering, butchering and ending processes are based on the most recent cooling expertise, machine-based butchering and extremely automated picking and transport lines.
Several hundred tons of meat go away the location daily and 95% of the animal – virtually every thing – is utilized. This allows Tönnies to fulfill totally different consuming habits all over the world: While German customers prefer lean beef, meat with a thick layer of fats is well-liked in Scandinavia and different European countries, according to the manufacturer’s web site.
Efficient screw vacuum pumps present forming, low and nice vacuums
“The cuts weigh between 1.5 and 9 kilograms after butchering,” explains Waldemar Metzger, Technical Manager of Tönnies Beef GmbH & Co. KG in Badbergen. The cuts are vacuum-packed for varied major prospects. For this function, Tönnies has put in several packaging lines in the halls: Seven thermoforming roller machines and two robot-operated shrink-wrap packaging machines. Efficient Atlas Copco vacuum pumps are used within the systems to vacuum pack the tubular/shrink bags and thermoformed plastic trays, and to maintain the meat really recent. They work in two stations and supply forming, low and fantastic vacuums.
The thermoforming machines provided by vacuum station 1. There are 4 Atlas Copco GHS 585 VSD+ variable-speed, oil-injected screw vacuum pumps that evacuate the air up to 40 mbar (absolute), as properly as 4 small boosters that decrease the pressure even additional to three mbar. One of the screw pumps provides the forming vacuum for the thermoforming curler machines, which only require round one hundred to one hundred fifty mbar for the forming course of. The other vacuum pumps on this station are related to the boosters. One of the pumps is redundant at any given time: This can also be the case within the second vacuum station, which comprises five GHS 730 VSD+ pumps that take away the air from the shrink luggage at the Cryovac traces. “The size of the cuts of meat is mechanically detected by our techniques,” explains Waldemar Metzger. “The packaging machines then mechanically insert the cuts of meat into the tubular luggage, which are minimize to the proper dimension under a vacuum bell.” Under the hood, all ambient air is then evacuated in two phases until the pressure is round 3 mbar (fine vacuum).
“With the forming vacuum – or thermoforming vacuum, as it’s also called – the plastic tray is fashioned by slicing the foil roll,” says the Technical Manager. After filling the shell with smaller pieces of meat, the shell is “wed” to the quilt film: The software closes and seals the packaging airtight at three to five mbar using the fine vacuum. Sorting machines assign the person trays and tubular baggage to bigger packing containers, that are then used to pick custom packing containers for buyer orders.
Efficient speed regulation reduces vitality requirements by a 3rd or extra
Waldemar Metzger has been working in Badbergen for 20 years and has been a part of the planning and execution stages of converting the mixed slaughterhouse to a purely beef operation from the very beginning. This included the decision to buy Atlas Copco variable-speed vacuum pumps. “As far as expertise is concerned, being in a position to range the velocity of the GHS vacuum pumps is crucial to us and saves vitality,” stresses the Tönnies employee. “Compared to fixed-speed machines, you’ll be able to reliably reduce down energy necessities by round a third – perhaps even by half, relying on the range issue.”
The controls on the vacuum pumps have a user-friendly plain textual content display, which additionally indicates the working hours and maintenance intervals. Since the Atlas Copco pumps may be linked on to an exhaust system, it was potential to make use of air-cooled pumps. According to the manufacturer, this improves the local weather of the room; it’s no longer necessary to have the additional room cooling typically required when using central vacuum techniques.
The project was carried out on web site by and with Oliver Hornberg, Managing Director of Eugen Theis Vakuumtechnik in Werther. He delivered the pumps to Tönnies Beef, prepared to use – together with a four hundred m pipeline in the converted slaughterhouse, measuring in places to a diameter of DN 300. His firm, Eugen Theis GmbH, was founded in 1984 and specializes in vacuum technology. In 1999, Hornberg took over the business from its founder, Eugen Theis, and 20 years later, in late 2021, offered it to Atlas Copco after he could not discover a successor. “Our two youngsters are pursuing different career paths,” he says. Hornberg himself remains Managing Director even after the company was sold to Atlas Copco and is trying forward to vital progress under the umbrella of one of the world’s largest suppliers of vacuum pumps. The company already operates all through Germany: “From Flensburg in the north to Regensburg in the south and Halle (Saale) in the east,” he says, outlining the reach of his company: This also includes Badbergen in the (north)west, as he typically stops by at Tönnies Beef to maintain up the machines.
