The feed manufacturing and grain handling industry is constantly evolving. Here are four innovative new products and services Feed & Grain has added to our Buyers Guide.
Smart maintenance
ABB Ability Field Information Manager (FIM 3.0) has been upgraded to offer system engineers and maintenance teams increased connectivity and extended reach across the latest communication protocols. The result is enhanced operational efficiency thanks to the digital solution enabling faster, more intuitive configuration, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance of devices.
Extreme wear protection
Argonics introduced Ceramic Tile Magnetic Panels, designed to deliver superior protection against wear and tear. The Ceramic Tile Magnetic Panels are crafted using 4-inch-by-6-inch ceramic blocks that offer a nearly uninterrupted ceramic surface. This unique feature ensures extreme wear protection, making these panels exceptionally robust and long-lasting. The powerful neodymium magnets ensure the panels hold firmly in place, even in vibrating applications. This means no welding, gluing or bolting is necessary, making installation and maintenance a breeze.
