The base unit comprises a stainless steel table for mounting the process equipment, a feed pump and vessel, the touchscreen
control panel and all associated electrical controls housed in an IP65 cabinet.
On top of the table are four mounting positions for the selected heat exchangers. There is also space for a variable holding tube.
Under the tabletop are storage positions for unused heat exchangers, plus space for the optional vacuum and extraction
pumps used for direct heating. There is also space for the optional integrated homogeniser and CIP Pump.
The system is PLC controlled, with a high-resolution 8” full colour touchscreen panel. All operation functions are controlled from this
panel, including configuration, mode of operation (sterilisation,process or Clean In Place).
These, along with many other options, enable multiple modules to be included in the same system, giving high process
adaptability by reconfiguration of flexible product hoses,using quick-release connections. The sterilisation options enable it
to be linked to an Armfield sterile filling bench to produce sterile product, even when using long holding tubes and/or downstream homogenisation.
As with all Armfield systems, it comes with hygienic fittings throughout as standard, it is easy to clean and very flexible in use.
The touch-screen control panel makes it extremely user friendly to configure and monitor processing parameters. The operator
is prompted at every stage whenever intervention is required.
Different sets of processing parameters can be edited, stored and quickly recalled using the system’s menu capability.
Similarly, the ancillary items such as the homogeniser and sterile filler are also controlled from this panel. The system can be quickly
and easily interfaced to other free-standing Armfield process items, such as a mixing vessel, a chiller (FT63 or FT64) or a sterile filling system (FT83).
The base unit provides the services to the heat exchangers.
