Conditioning Technology & more

From consulting to planning and from design to process optimisation: in plant technology, we support you with our many years of expertise in every single step of the project.

We think along the same lines – in every phase of the project

Consulting

Well advised from the very beginning: first of all, we collect all the information that is important for the planned plant. All information is incorporated into the first layouts of your plant. In addition, specific needs analyses, space-saving concepts, process testing in our own technical centre as well as module or system solutions are added depending on the requirements.

Of course, we accompany you not only in the design of new plants, but also in the extension of existing plants, regardless of whether it involves modernisations and performance improvements, e.g. with dryer or booth conversions or conveying equipment adaptations.

Planning & design

In the planning and design, we take into account important topics such as environmental protection, safety, noise and fire protection and also clarify issues such as emission protection law. You can rely on that: the current laws, regulations and guidelines form the basis of our work.

Process simulation

The simulation of plant logistics offers the opportunity to map the plant during the planning phase and, for example, to identify the risk of partial congestion. This prevents costly changes having to be made to the finished plant. Furthermore, statements regarding cycle times can be validated and examined depending on different input variables. The scope ranges from a basic proof of concept simulation to a complete mapping of the plant behaviour.

In particular situations such as the start-up behaviour, special conditions for the end-of-work operation or breaks often differ enormously from those of the steady state. In these cases, the plant behaviour can hardly be represented realistically with analytical methods. In addition, it is only conditionally possible to design the buffer size or to evaluate its dimensioning without simulation. The determination of the required or recommended number of product carriers can also only be achieved on the basis of a solid simulation. Simulations are a valuable tool for the predictive analysis of the plant behaviour as well as for production planning or for replicating and analysing disruptive situations.

Process optimisation

The aim of process optimisation is to make full use of the untapped potential of the plant. For this purpose, those parameters are identified that can achieve higher productivity through optimisation without sacrificing quality. In order to achieve this, the different plant areas must be optimally matched to one another.

On the one hand, a simulation analyses the control logic of the conveying equipment and, on the other, it looks at the effects of changes to the process or plant parameters. Based on this in-depth analysis, RIPPERT develops strategies that help to prevent any bottlenecks, delays, or idle runs, and thus to increase productivity.

Plant visualisation

Benefit from a high level of user comfort: menu-driven user interfaces can significantly simplify the handling of the plants. The entire plant is visualised in a layout. Subsections can thus be selected, operated and observed by the plant operator. Thus, the operating states now visually displayed can be individually recorded, analysed and, if necessary, adjusted. The visualisation takes place on a touch panel with components such as general plant operation, operating mode selection, switching mode, management of operating and error messages, etc.
