Brewing system manufacturer uses all-in-one PLC+HMI controllers
SABCO has standardised on Unitronics all-in-one PLC+HMI devices for controlling the brewing systems that it manufactures for the commercial and home brewing markets, including its popular Brew-Magic line.
SABCO manufactures brewing systems for all sizes of commercial brewery, including micro-breweries and craft breweries, as well as the home-brew market. Consistency and repeatability are vital for any size of brewery when favourite recipes need to be reproduced. Temperature accuracy, data retrieval and accurate timing are all important for the quality of the finished product, but so too is convenience when it comes to monitoring and controlling the brewing process.
Unitronics has been SABCO's supplier of choice for control systems for many years, with SABCO using a number of different Unitronics programmable controllers. Today SABCO fits several of the Unitronics Vision series devices, including the Vision 120, 130, 350 and 1210 models, the latter two having touchscreen capability. Indeed, virtually every SABCO system incorporates a Unitronics controller of one type or another.
SABCO brewing systems are exported worldwide from the company's base in the USA. Operating conditions in breweries can be relatively hostile, yet the rugged, reliable Unitronics devices cope extremely well in the presence of moisture and, moreover, the washdowns that are necessary to maintain cleanliness. The reliability of the Unitronics products gives SABCO added peace of mind when exporting systems globally.
