Customer-specific solutions
We have implemented numerous drive, control and automation solutions for a wide range of customers. Below is a selection of these applications.
Positioning bottles
Beverages & bottling
Mechanically aligning bottles
Wish: Precise mechanical alignment of PET/glass bottles, vials, jars and cans. Solution: Spiral drive line for filling preparation in automatic high-speed filling systems. Drive line runs 24/7 and monitors power consumption and temperature to promptly signal anomalies.
VFD drum motor
Fish & meat processing
VFD drum motor
Wish: Automatic deboning, descaling and peeling of fish and seafood. Solution: Conveyor with integrated drum motor and pressure rollers. VFD drum motor allows the speed to be matched to the product quantity and shape.
Operating egg transport system
Livestock & poultry farming
Operating egg transport system
Wish: Move eggs carefully and efficiently.
Solution: Egg trays transported to cart feed unit by a PLC-controlled vacuum conveyor that gently pushes trays into tray cart. Precise MIG encoder in cart feed drive for accurate positioning and minimal egg damage.
Driving and controlling mushroom picking bridge
Harvesting & crop care
Mushroom picking bridge
Wish: Automatic mushroom processing: sort; cut stems; pick, fill and weigh trays.
Solution: Automatic picking gantry continuously driven by efficient hypoid drives. Processes perfectly coordinated by PLC-controlled drives for optimal efficiency and speed.
Servo solution for optimal storage systems
Intralogistics & distribution
Servo solution for optimal storage systems
Wish: Optimize productivity, space utilization, inventory management and real-time load tracking.
Solution: A servo system with smart controls ensures exceptionally high throughput in fully automated storage systems.
Driving and steering AGVs
Intralogistics & distribution
Driving and steering AGVs
Wish: Load, unload, store and retrieve products, pallets or boxes automatically.
Solution: Drive and control automatic guided vehicle (AGV) drive and steering unit with outstanding precision and constant speed.
Waste flow conveyor
Recycling & waste disposal
Waste flow conveyor
Wish: Discharge waste from vibratory feed to cyclone separator.
Solution: Conveyor with drive drum and thermal overload protection carries waste to high-speed magnetic rotor.
Driving and operating winches
Ports & cargo transfer
Driving and operating winches
Wish: Drive winches moving heavy machinery or cargo on a cargo vessel.
Solution: VFD, encoder feedback and a simple handheld control panel for easy crane positioning and safe cargo moving.
Process
Of course, BEGE offers customer-specific drives. But what are the different phases or steps of this process? This figure describes the process steps.
1. Create draft design
We translate the business goals, customer needs and industry requirements into an integrated draft design. We take a closer look at the machine’s functionality and application.
We document how the machine will improve the process, what efficiency is expected, and what safety and quality requirements need to be met.
2. Develop an engineering plan
We provide advice on consistent and reliable drive and control systems. We select the right drive and control components and ensure they all communicate with each other smoothly.
We analyse the challenges of the various machine tasks and clearly identify the critical factors. We integrate the technology, automation and IT.
3. Implementation
In this phase, we write the necessary software and design the customer-specific drives. We create 3D drawings and perform calculations based on our vast knowledge of materials.
The components are now ready for implementation in the machine design.
4. Prototype and testing
We simulate various scenarios with a prototype and test whether the solution meets the desired requirements.
We optimise components and processes where necessary to create the best machine possible.
5. Series production
When the prototype automation solution is installed and meets all the requirements, we use the prototype as the basis for our series production.
As a partner of machine builders, BEGE understands the importance of continuity. That is why we guarantee consistent quality and excellent service for fast series production.
6. Support and training
If desired, we can include the customer in all the process steps and ensure a smooth handover.
We remain involved even after commissioning, with support on proper use of the hardware and software and correction of any faults.
We can train operating personnel upon request.
