The Challenge
Artisan cheesemakers entering and expanding in the market needed cost-effective CIP systems that could scale as their businesses grew. Qualtech needed a control platform that integrated easily with a wide range of instrumentation and could expand without expensive redesign.
The Solution
Qualtech built CIP systems using Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PAC, PowerFlex 525 AC drive, and Stratix 2000 unmanaged Ethernet switches, providing a scalable integrated architecture that connects with various instrumentation and supports future expandability.
Results
The platform easily integrates with a wide range of instrumentation and enables flexibility and future expandability, allowing Qualtech to support cheese plant expansions cost-effectively. Qualtech has implemented more than 150 cheese plant expansions over 20 years.
Key Takeaways
• Scalable control platforms eliminate costly redesigns when production capacity grows • OEMs that standardize on a single control architecture gain efficiencies in design, training, and support • CIP system design must accommodate both the initial installation and future expansion from the outset
