Industries

Sanitary industry

There are mainly two industries which required hygiene as essential on designing the products.Those are,

  • Food Equipment
  • Pharmaceutical Equipment

Industries must follow regional standard procedures likely Unfired pressure vessels must verify the codes and standards.

  • Where Codes is nothing but set of Rules for the Design, Fabrication, Installation, Inspection, and Testing of Industrial Process Plants and Equipment’s.
  • Where Standards It Consist of group of Rules Prepared by Professional People for the Design, Manufacturing and Pressure Integrity of the Components

So, The principle of Pressure Vessel Codes to describe mainly about Safety, Constructability, Operability, Maintainability, Economy.

Various Codes & Standards:

COUNTRY ORGANISATION ABBREVIATION CODES
USA American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME ASME VIII
INDIA Bureau of Indian Standards BIS or IS IS 2825
CANADA Canadian Standard Association CSA CSA B51
EUROPE Committee of European Normalisation EN or CEN EN 13445
BRITAIN British Standard Institute BS or BSI BS 5500
GERMANY Deutsche Institute of Normalising DIN AD 2000
JAPAN Japanese Industrial Standards Committee JISC or JIS JIS B 8243
WORLD Organisation for Industrial Standards ISO ISO 16528

Industry aspects:

  • Food equipment manufacturers should always look for ways to help customers keep their places of business bacteria-free.
  • Using machinery designed with hygienic design principles in mind helps food manufacturers limit the risk of toxins or other microbiological organisms coming into contact with
    food supplies.
  • These industries seen sometimes a higher upfront cost due to certain material choices, but the benefits of these choices reduce operating costs in the long-term.
  • Proper hygiene is essential in the pharmaceutical industry to prevent any kind of contamination that can affect the quality of medicinal products. When it comes to
    delivering highest quality standards of pharmaceutical products, key hygiene factors need to be upheld.
  • High levels of clealiness and sanitation must be practiced through all stages of manufacturing through a comprehensive screening–from the personnel working in
    manufacturing plant to the production process. Every pharmaceutical company should adhere to strict hygiene laws to ensure high-quality drugs are manufactured
    and packaged in a contamination-free environment.

Special Purpose Machines

Special Purpose Machine (SPM) are those machines which are not available off the shelf. These are not covered in standard manufacturing category.
Because those have to be tailor made design as per the customer specific requirements

Reasons path

Faced with ever-increasing cost pressures and demands for improved performance, machine builders are actively seeking new automation solutions with improved cost/performance ratios. In response to these demands, vendors must often incorporate commercial off-the-shelf components and other
technologies to deliver more performance at lower costs in smaller form factors.

Major Reasons

  • Repetitive task
  • Cost control
  • human intervention not possible
  • Speed and Accuracy
  • Safety Is concerned
  • Duty is concerned

Main components

A machine’s automation system primarily consists of power and control components. Which consists of
  • Power distribution
  • Motor control and drives
  • Safety system
  • Programmable controllers
  • Discrete and analog I/O
  • Communication systems
  • Human-machine interface (HMI)
This kind of case-to-case machine construction require Careful design, selection, integration, and testing will ensure the automation system performs as required, both initially and throughout the life cycle of the machine.

These SPM’s offers automation to Various field.They are

  • Grinding / polishing automation
  • Subsea – Oil & Gas industry
  • Space research

Heavy engineering

Heavy industry relates to a type of business that typically carries a high capital cost (capital-intensive), high barriers to entry, and low transportability. These industries form the backbone of
modern industrial development.

Their range of their products varies from nuts and bolts to industrial machinery, automobiles, railway engines and coaches, ships, aircrafts, transmission
towers, etc. Developing these kinds of machines require more experience, R&D, Analysis etc.

These equipment’s are very heavy in weight which require more attentions while performing any operation from material handling, fabrication,
transport, commissioning, to operation. Any person or machines involved must follow all precautions measures, safety measures while
dealing into it to avoid damage to individual or product.

There are critical points to be considered during designing this type of machine. They are,
  • Transport
  • Agriculture
  • Mining
  • Civil infrastructure
  • Subsea engineering
  • Heavy structures and Towers
  • Renewable industries
  • Windmill
  • Dam reservoir turbines
  • Crane industry
  • Earth moving
  • Power plants
