Definitions

  • the invention relates to systems and a method for early detection of damage to a conveyor unit of a conveyor system of a furnace and a furnace, in particular a pin furnace with at least one such system.
  • a conveyor unit of a conveyor system of a furnace and a furnace in particular a pin furnace with at least one such system.
  • a drying oven for example a PIN oven, is provided for a drying process, which has a chain, usually a metal chain, for conveying the cans.
  • the metal chain has transport pins which receive the cans through an opening thereof and convey the cans through the oven.
  • the metal chain is a wearing part, which causes massive costs due to a loss of production in the event of an unplanned failure.
  • a metal chain in particular should be lubricated with a lubricant in order to reduce or even avoid wear on the metal chain.
  • an excessive supply of lubricant leads to the entry of chain hydrocarbons into the drying oven, which is usually heated up to 230°C, and the cans are no longer washed before the next process step.
  • the cans should be essentially free of oils and lubricants in order not to jeopardize subsequent painting of the inside of the can, for example.
  • the supply of lubricant usually takes place on a chain circuit of the metal chain. There, the rotation of a sprocket wheel is used to carry out a minimum lubrication of the metal chain determined by experience. With this method, however, an actual load on the chain is not taken into account and this increases the risk of an accident and thus an unplanned downtime of the metal chain.
  • the metal chain feed pins can also wear out and break off and/or bend, preventing cans from loading the feed pins and in turn leading to can loss since the cans from a decorator are usually independent of a presence of a transport pin to be conveyed onto the metal chain. If a transport pin breaks while a can is being conveyed through it, the transport pin and can may fall down in the drying oven. Further, cans may fall off the transport pins in front of the drying oven, in the drying oven and in the cooling zone. In addition to the problem that these dropped transport pins and cans can endanger the processes as such, there are gaps along the metal chain. There is no continuous control of the transport pins. Instead, the metal chain is manually checked for breaks during maintenance work.
  • this object is achieved with a system for the early detection of damage to a conveyor unit of a conveyor system of a furnace.
  • the system comprises at least one measuring unit set up to record at least one operating parameter of the conveyor system, in particular an operating parameter which influences the conveyor unit.
  • the system also includes a control device that is set up to compare the operating parameter with a setpoint operating parameter and to detect a deviation of the operating parameter from the setpoint operating parameter at a detection time. Furthermore, the control device is set up to output a warning signal if the deviation is greater than or equal to or greater than a predetermined value after a predetermined period of time, the time period beginning with the time of detection.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that an accident can be recognized in advance by recognizing deviations from the setpoint operating parameter. For example, a defective bearing is characterized by increased friction and/or increased temperature of the bearing. Accordingly, the bearing may break. By recognizing the increased friction or temperature, the warning signal can be issued in advance in order to replace the bearing and prevent an accident.
  • the invention is also based on the knowledge that various operating parameters of the conveyor system, in particular the conveyor unit and/or the oven, have an influence on the service life of the conveyor unit. These operating parameters lead, among other things, to wear on the conveyor unit or represent a load on the conveyor unit. By detecting these operating parameters, a course of wear on the conveyor unit and/or a probable maintenance time can be determined by determining a deviation from the target operating parameter.
  • the temperature of the conveyor unit rises significantly in a short time while the settings or conditions remain the same, it can be concluded that a bearing of the conveyor unit is at least partially defective.

Accordingly, even before an event that has a negative impact on production or the Drying using the oven has, the conveyor unit is serviced and/or individual elements of the conveyor unit are repaired and/or replaced in order to prevent this event.
  • a standstill or failure of the conveyor unit can be avoided and reliable production can be guaranteed.

  • the system can have one or more sections for drying the container units of the oven, in particular a pin oven.
  • the system is suitable for the oven, in particular the pin oven.
  • the oven may have the one or more sections for drying and thereby producing container units.
