Scope of work

We needed to make upgrades at Parmalat in Lusaka Zambia. It was 4 different projects that needed upgrades for better production times, making it easier for operators to work there and making the production totals much more in shorter times.

Initial Work Done.

  1. Mixing Area – Replace one 5000 liter mixing tank with two 10 000 liter Tanks with a 1200 PLC and a KTP 700 HMI to indicate levels.
  2. Milk Recovery – Replace an old 500 liter tank that was rejected for production use anymore with a 2000 liter tank with a LOGO PLC and HMI for level control, High and low level to put on a siren when the tank is empty or full and a product pump to empty the tank.
  3. Cream line – Upgrade the cream line with a mass flow meter for pumping a certain amount of liters and not to guess how many liters is pumped.
  4. Yogurt – We replaced 2 old tanks with 2 new 4000 liter tanks , 2 new 5 000 liter tanks and 2 new 10 000 liter tanks. They can mix 20 000 liters incase of 5000 liters on a time. We putted in a 1200 PLC with a KTP 700 HMI to indicate all the tanks level and temperature.
