These functional classificators require simple
maintenance and allow you to reduce up to four times the encumbrance
needed by the old traditional systems, taking advantage of all the
available space. Thanks to their simple use, the commands concerning
loading, unloading and selection of the product are always executed
easily, rapidly and free of errors.
For the semiautomatic and automatic versions, the loading and unloading
operations are executed by a system of reductor with high performance.
The mechanism is powered by two motors which have a variable speed and
which are commanded by a PLC. The automatic version has simple
deshbroad which allows to menage all phases of the procedure and
anables to optimize time thanks to the connection, via an interface, to
the cutting line for an automatic loading and unloading.
On the other hand, for the manual version, the motion is taken in care
charge by a wheel placed in the first element of the perpendicular
system, connected to a reductional device which enables the motion of
the elements with the minimum effort.
Mistrello’s classifiers, which can be
semiautomatic and/or automatic, allow to considerably reduce occupied
floor space. Loading operations are carried out by a series of
high-performance reducers ensuring movement of the elements with
minimum effort, while the mechanism is powered by two variable-speed
motors, commanded by PLC.
The automatic classifiers have user-friendly command panels, which
enable to manage all phases of the procedure, optimizing time thanks to
an interface connection with the cutting table.
For the manual version of the classifiers, movement is carried out by
means of a wheel located on the first element of the system, connected
to a reduction device that enables movement of the elements with
minimum effort. The weight load of the classifiers depends on the base
of the same classifier, not on the glass thickness. This means that
more glass sheets of 3 millimetres can be loaded compared to those of
20 millimetres. Another possibility is that of dividing the glass
sheets by colour and not by thickness – a system adopted by
Saint-Gobain, in The Netherlands.
Normal “A” shaped classifiers have a space
– for one of ten metres – for eight different types
of glass with a loading base of 400 millimetres. With the same
measurements, Mistrello’s classifiers can hold from18 to 24
different types, as per the sizes of the glass sheets. Because of their
modular construction, glassworks can start with a small sized
classifier and move on to more space as the need arises.
An example of this is one of Mistrello’s clients, who was
supplied with a manual classifier of 16 elements three years ago. Now,
after expansion in the glassworks and acquisitions, this same
classifier is being transformed into an automatic system, by adding
another classifier, with automatic bilateral loading, thus providing
automatic management of the plant, with more elements added. Benefits
from this new system will be, first of all, time, which is no longer
needed for the selection of the different glass types as these are
managed automatically.
The same automatic system also eliminates the possibility of damage to
the glass sheets and injury to the workers.
