Pneumatic automation imapereka mafuta a Loud Labs hemp kumudzi

Pulogalamu yodzaza yomwe ikuwoneka ngati yosavuta ikuwonetsa kuti kugwira ntchito ndi mafuta a cannabis kumafuna kumvetsetsa mawonekedwe awo apadera.
Mu 2015, Jake Berry ndi Coley Walsh adayambitsa Pyramid Pens, yomwe tsopano ikugwira ntchito pansi pa Loud Labs banner ndipo imagulitsa mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya mafuta a cannabis omwe amapakidwa m'ma cartridge omwe amapezeka mu ndudu zosiyanasiyana za e-fodya. Pogwiritsa ntchito njira yodziwika bwino yochotsa CO2, ogwira nawo ntchitowo adayamba kupanga mitundu yosiyanasiyana yamafuta a THC ndi mafuta a CBD kuti asungunuke. M'malo mwake, njira yatsopano yopangira zida zamtunduwu idatikopa chidwi mu 2019, onani zomwe akhala akugwira ntchito nthawi imeneyo ndikuwona momwe apitira patsogolo ndi zomwe akufuna.
Masiku ano, Loud Labs ikugulitsa mafuta a Pyramid Pens ophatikizidwa ndi cannabis, omwe amabwera m'ma cartridges ndi makapisozi, ku Colorado ndi Michigan, ndipo akuyala maziko akukula kwamtsogolo m'maiko ena. Kukula ndi njira yovuta yomwe imafuna kusinthika kudziko lililonse lazamalamulo ndi malo ogulitsa. Kampaniyo imapereka mitundu isanu ndi umodzi yamafuta, iliyonse ili ndi mawonekedwe osiyanasiyana a potency ndi kukoma, kukhazikika, distillate, ndi kuphatikiza kwa CBD / THC. Kampaniyo imaperekanso ma pre-rolls opangidwa ndi chakudya komanso ma slabs.
Zipangizo za Vape zimabwera m'mitundu yambiri, makulidwe, ndi matekinoloje, zonse kutengera makatiriji odzazidwa ndi mafuta. Makatiriji nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi 0,3, 0,5 kapena 1 gramu yamafuta kutengera mtundu wa chipangizocho. Kuti mulingo woyenera kwambiri wamafuta okwera mtengo, kuwonjezera kuyenera kukhala kolondola. Mafuta otentha a hemp amatsanulira mosavuta mu chidebe chotenthetsera cha Thompson Duke IZR Automatic High Volume Filler. Pa makina, chida chokhala ndi cartridge yowonjezeredwanso chimayikidwa patebulo la Festo EXCM XY. Chojambula chojambula cha HMI chimalola wogwiritsa ntchito kuwongolera ndi kukhathamiritsa ndondomekoyi pogwiritsa ntchito mndandanda wa malamulo.
"Tili ndi kilos ya mankhwala kuchokera ku extractor," akutero CEO Berry. "Mapangidwe awa amaphatikizidwa m'mapangidwe athu osiyanasiyana kuti apange zinthu zathu zapadera. Kenako timakoka mafuta m'botolo ndi syringe yaing'ono ndikuyika kuchuluka kwake kwamafuta mu katiriji."
Mafuta a cannabis akamazizira, amakhala okhuthala komanso ovuta kuyaka komanso molondola mlingo. Mafutawa ndi omata ndipo ndi ovuta kuwakonza ndi kuwayenga. Njira yolembera ndi kugawa kudzera mu syringe ndiyovuta mwakuthupi komanso m'maganizo, osatchulapo pang'onopang'ono komanso kuwononga. Komanso, aliyense chilinganizo ali osiyana mamasukidwe akayendedwe, amene angasinthe mphamvu ya ntchito ndi kugawira. Wogwira ntchito molimbika akhoza kudzaza makatiriji 100 mpaka 200 pa ola, akutero Barry. Pamene kutchuka kwa maphikidwe a Loud Labs kunakula, kuchuluka kwa dongosolo kumachepa. Kuwotcha kwambiri kumafunika pakanthawi kochepa.
"Tikufuna kugwiritsa ntchito chidziwitso chathu cha chitukuko cha malonda, msika ndi zosowa za makasitomala kuti tikulitse bizinesi, m'malo mowononga nthawi yambiri ya ntchito yathu ndikudzaza makatiriji ndi manja," adatero Berry.
Ma Loud Labs amafunikira njira yabwinoko yopangira zinthu zopikisana komanso zotsika mtengo ndikusunga zabwino kwambiri. Njira zodzipangira zokha zikuwoneka ngati yankho lomwe lingatheke. Komabe, ndikofunikira kudziwa kuti popeza makampaniwa ali akhanda, njira zodzipangira okha (zabwino mulimonse) sizodziwika ngati mafakitale okhazikika.
Mu 2018, Berry ndi Walsh anakumana ndi Thompson Duke Industrial ku Portland, Oregon, kampani ya Portland Engineering yomwe imapanga ndi kugwiritsira ntchito makatiriji ndi ndudu zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kudzaza ndi kusindikiza ndudu za cannabis.
"Tidadziwa kuti ndikofunikira kwambiri kuganizira kusinthasintha kwamafuta popanga makina odzaza chitini," atero a Chris Gardella, CTO wa Thompson Duke Industrial. "Mafuta a hemp sakhala ngati madzi ena aliwonse. Mafuta aliwonse ali ndi kukhuthala kosiyana. Mankhwala ena amatha kukhala okhuthala kwambiri moti mafutawo sangatuluke m’chitini pa kutentha koyenera.”
Kuti mafuta aziyenda bwino, Gardella akuti zinthuzo ziyenera kutenthedwa. Komabe, kutentha kuyenera kuyendetsedwa bwino, chifukwa kutentha kwambiri kungathe kuwononga zigawo zikuluzikulu za mafuta, ndipo kutentha kwambiri kumachepetsa kuyenda. Kuganiziranso kwina ndikuti mankhwala ena amayenera kumwa mosamala kapena awonongeka.
Dera lamafuta la Thompson Duke cartridge filler lili ndi chosungira chotenthetsera komanso chubu chachifupi cholumikizidwa ndi mutu wokhazikika wa dosing. Mwanjira imeneyi, cholumikizira choyendetsedwa ndi pneumatically chimakweza chopondera cha syringe, kuyamwa mulingo wina wamafuta. Kuyendetsa kwachiwiri kumatsitsa syringe ku cartridge yopanda kanthu ndipo kuyendetsa kumakankhira plunger. Gawo lodzipangira la XY lomwe lili ndi masanjidwe a makatiriji mazana ambiri limayika katiriji iliyonse motsatana pansi pamutu wa dosing. Thompson Duke wakhazikitsa makina a Festo a pneumatic ndi magetsi pamakina ake potengera kupezeka, mtundu ndi chithandizo. Akadzazidwa pamanja, kuwononga nthawi komanso kuwononga, Loud Labs tsopano amagwiritsa ntchito makina a Festo-based Thompson Duke kuti akonze bwino makatiriji mazana m'mphindi popanda kutaya.
"Kulingalira kwina kwapangidwe ndikuti kupanga mafuta aliwonse kudzaperekedwa pamlingo wosiyana, ndipo pamene mafuta akuwotcha, amatha kugawidwa mofulumira, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti tebulo la XY liri mofulumira komanso logwirizana ndi mutu wa dosing," adatero Gardella. "Njira yovutayi yakhala yovuta kwambiri chifukwa makampani opanga zida za evaporator akupita kumitundu yosiyanasiyana yama cartridge."
Podziwa zaukadaulo wamapangidwe a Loud Labs ndi zomwe amachita, Berry ndi Walsh adaganiza kuti akulankhula ndi wogulitsa yemwe adamvetsetsa zosowa zawo atamva ogwira ntchito a Thompson Duke akufotokoza mawonekedwe a makina odzaza okha a IZR omwe ali ndi patenti.
Iwo ali okondwa ndi kuthekera kwa dongosolo la mafakitale-grade omwe amatha kudzaza makatiriji 1,000 pa ola limodzi, kutanthauza kuti makina amodzi amatha kugwira ntchito ya antchito osachepera anayi molondola kwambiri komanso zowononga zochepa. Izi mlingo wa throughput adzakhala kusintha masewera kwa kampani, osati mawu a makatiriji wodzazidwa ndi kuyankha mwamsanga malamulo, komanso ponena za ndalama ntchito. Eni mabizinesi aphunzira kuti makina a Thompson Duke amatha kusintha kuchokera kumafuta amodzi kupita ku ena pasanathe masekondi 60, zomwe ndi mwayi kwamakampani ngati Loud Labs omwe ali ndi mapangidwe angapo.
Thompson Duke anawonjezera mfundo ziwiri zowonjezera pa Zokambirana. Kampaniyo ikuchita chithandizo chaukadaulo. Pambuyo pa malonda, makasitomala akhoza kutsimikiziridwa ndi chithandizo chapadziko lonse lapansi. Kuphatikiza apo, pulogalamu ya Thompson Duke imapangitsa kukhala kosavuta kwa ogwiritsa ntchito kuyendetsa njira zovuta. Berry ndi Walsh adagula mwachangu makina a Thompson Duke IZR.
"M'makampani a cannabis, ogula amayang'ana mitundu yomwe angadalire - mitundu yomwe imapereka mtundu wokhazikika wazinthu komanso zosiyanasiyana," adatero Berry. "Masiku ano, Pyramid Pens imapereka mafuta asanu ndi limodzi osasunthika, amphamvu komanso a cannabis omwe amapakidwa m'makatiriji ogwirizana ndi chida chilichonse cha vape choyendera batire 510. Imakhala ndi mitundu isanu ya ma pods a Pax Era, komanso makatiriji atatu odzazanso ndi ndudu zotayidwa. Zonsezi zimawonjezeredwa pogwiritsa ntchito makina amakono a Thompson Duke. Kuphatikiza apo, Loud Labs apeza njira yosavuta yopangira. Kampaniyo yawonjezeranso makina osindikizira a Thompson Duke LFP cartridge.
Makinawa amachotsa zopinga zakuthupi zomwe zimagwirizanitsidwa ndi machitidwe amanja, kufulumizitsa nthawi yotsogolera, ndikuwonetsetsa kuwongolera kolondola. Kumayambiriro kusanachitike, maoda akuluakulu amatha kumalizidwa mpaka mwezi umodzi, koma tsopano maoda akuluakulu amatha kumalizidwa m'masiku ochepa.
"Pogwirizana ndi Thompson Duke Industrial, Loud Labs yapeza kubwezeredwa mwachangu pazachuma pophatikiza liwiro, magwiridwe antchito, kuwongolera bwino komanso njira zotsika mtengo m'malo ake opanga," adatero Berry.
"Pali zinthu zitatu zomwe mungatenge kuchokera ku Loud Labs automation," Walsh akuwonjezera. "Hemp ndi chinthu chokhala ndi zinthu zapadera. Gulu lothandizira liyenera kupanga mayankho odzichitira okha ndi ma phukusi makamaka a hemp, kapena kukhala okonzeka kusintha makinawo kuti agwirizane ndi momwe zinthu zimagwirira ntchito.
"Chotengera chachiwiri ndichakuti iyi ndi bizinesi yatsopano. Makampani a cannabis adzapindula ndi kugwiritsa ntchito mosavuta komanso chithandizo chambiri. Pomaliza, pangakhale kufunikira kowerengera ndalama pakompyuta, kutsatiridwa ndi machitidwe abwino opanga posachedwapa. Ogulitsa ndi omaliza ayenera kukonzekera. ”
Nthawi yomweyo, onse a Berry ndi Walsh akuti akupitilizabe kupanga zinthu, kupeza njira zodzipangira okha, kuyang'ana kukula ku New South Wales ndipo, chofunikira kwambiri, amayang'ana kwambiri kupatsa ogulitsa ndi ogula mtundu wamtengo wapatali. chimene angadalire.
Makatiriji odzazidwa ndi osindikizidwa okonzeka kugulitsidwa m'matumba a CR. Chigawo cha IZR chomwe chimagwira ntchito kwambiri ndi makina apamtunda opangidwa ndikumangidwa ku USA ndi maziko osavuta, HMI, tebulo la XY ndi kapangidwe kapamwamba ka mafuta. Magawo amagetsi ndi pneumatic ndi zigawo zokhazikika zamafakitale kuchokera ku Festo ndikuwonetsetsa moyo wautali wautumiki, ntchito yopanda mavuto komanso kupezeka kwazinthu zambiri. Kuphweka komanso kugwiritsa ntchito kosavuta kumeneku ndikofunikira kwambiri kumadera ena amakampani a cannabis chifukwa chidziwitso cha automation chikuyendabe. Komabe, ukadaulo wapatent uwu umapereka pulogalamu yamphamvu yodzichitira yokha.
Pamwamba pa makinawo pali chotenthetsera ndi chosungira cha 500 ml. Opanga amatenthetsa mafuta awo a cannabis asanayike mafutawo mu thanki momwe kutentha kwake kumasungidwa. Chubu chowonekera pansi pa mosungiramo chimapereka njira yoperekera mafuta kudzera pamakina a syringe. Ikafika nthawi yosinthira mafuta osiyanasiyana, posungira, chubu, valavu yoyang'anira ndi syringe ya dosing amachotsedwa mwachangu ndikusinthidwa ndi zida zosinthira zomwe zaperekedwa. Kusintha pakati pa maphikidwe amafuta kumatenga pafupifupi miniti. Zigawo zochotsedwazo zimatsukidwa ndikukonzekera gulu lotsatira.
Nyali yotentha ya gooseneck imasinthidwa mosavuta ndipo imapangitsa kuti mafuta azikhala otentha kwa nthawi yochepa kwambiri pamene akuyenda kuchokera ku thanki kupita ku cartridge. Pakatikati pa chithunzichi pali ma nozzles a dosing omwe amayendetsedwa ndi masilindala awiri a Festo. Silinda yapamwamba imakweza pisitoni, kukokera mafuta mu syringe ya dosing. Mafuta ofunikira akangokokedwa mu syringe, silinda yachiwiri imatsitsa syringe, kulola kuti singano ilowe mu katiriji. Plunger amapanikizidwa ndi silinda, ndipo mafuta amalowa mu mbiya. Ma cylinders onse amatha kusintha mosavuta pamanja pogwiritsa ntchito makina oyimitsa.
Gome la XY la makina a IZR awa adapangidwa koyambirira ndi Festo kuti atsimikizire kuthamanga ndi kulondola kwa kasamalidwe ka zitsanzo mu labotale yodzichitira. Ndizolondola kwambiri pamene zimalozera ku cartridge pansi pa mutu wodzaza ndipo ndizodalirika m'mafakitale. XY-table EXCM, HMI, kutentha, pneumatics - chirichonse chimayang'aniridwa ndi Festo PLC yaing'ono m'nyumba ya IZR.
Chojambula chojambula cha HMI chimalola wogwiritsa ntchito kuwongolera ndikuwongolera ndondomekoyi ndi mndandanda wa malamulo osavuta (lozerani ndikudina). Mapulogalamu onse ovuta amatsitsidwa ndikuwunikidwa kwathunthu gawo lililonse lisanatumizidwe. Pogwiritsa ntchito Codesys API, kachitidwe kachitidwe kachitidwe ndi kachitidwe ka malipoti kumatha kusonkhanitsa zofunikira zonse zopanga ndi kutsata batch data, zomwe zimatsogola kufunikira kwa FDA pakusunga zolemba pamlingo uwu.
LFP iyi ndi makina osindikizira a pneumatic a matani anayi omwe amagwira ntchito kwathunthu pamagetsi ndipo alibe zida zamagetsi. Lumikizani compressor ya mpweya ku LFP ndikuyamba. Wogwira ntchitoyo amalowetsa mphamvu yomwe akufuna kuchokera ku 0,5 mpaka matani 4 ndikuwongolera mphamvu zosinthika. Amatseka chitseko ndikutembenuza chosinthira kumalo otalikirapo. Chitseko cholumikizira chitseko chimatsegulidwa ndipo ntchito imayamba. Sunthani chosinthiracho kupita pamalo obwezeredwa, osindikizira abwereranso ndipo loko yotseka chitseko idzatsegulidwa. Apanso, Thompson Duke amaphatikiza zida zamafakitale zolimba mosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito makasitomala omwe akufunafuna mapindu a makina.
