Mechanical engineering/industrial maintenance and line control

ECOLPAP is a system for compacting waste paper from an A4 shredder.
It consists of seven functional sub-assemblies with complementary operations.
The shredded paper chips are compacted to form briquettes. They are then pushed one by one towards a filming unit associated with a thermo-regulated oven which ensures the shrinking of the film around the compacted shreds. This operation maintains the compactness of the briquettes and makes them easy to handle and re-group. The local control is carried out by a man/machine dialogue terminal which allows the manual start-up cycle, the visualisation of the adjustment cycle and the automatic production cycle, access to the counters and totalisers of the cycles and the pieces produced, access to the alarms and their acknowledgement, the choice of the production modes (normal and "despite everything").
