Automated CIP system & filler control system

ClientJuice processing plant

SectorFood & beverage

ScopeDesign · build · install · commission

The brief: Replace manual cleaning with a fully automated clean-in-place (CIP) system for a filling line, and deliver a complete new control system for the filler itself, with the safety and hygiene a juice plant demands.
What we did: AMC designed, built, installed and commissioned a fully automated CIP system, and designed, built and installed a full control system for the filler. That covered the control panels, PLC and HMI software written to our verification standard, a machine risk assessment, and safety system validation and sign-off.

Outcomes

Fully automated, repeatable CIP cycles
New filler control system, PLC and HMI
Risk assessed and safety validated
Complete documentation and sign-off package

Pallet wrapper safety system

LocationMurrami NSW

SectorHay & fodder export

ScopeAssess · design · program · validate

The brief: An automated pallet wrapping machine with rotating and hazardous parts and no proper safeguarding.
What we did: AMC carried out a full risk assessment to AS 4024, then designed, programmed, integrated and tested a complete safety system. We added a new safety control panel with a Pilz safety controller, Pilz light curtains with muting, interlocked access doors and e-stops. The hydraulic motor and main drives were brought under safety control with STO and monitored contactors. We finished with stopping-distance validation and full electrical schematics.

Outcomes

Fully risk assessed to AS 4024
Pilz safety controller and light curtains with muting
STO and monitored contactors on drives

Automated river pump

LocationLake Cargelligo NSW

SectorWater / irrigation

ScopeDesign · build · commission

The brief: Replace a manually run river pump with a system that controls water flow precisely, cuts wasted water and energy, and can be monitored and run remotely.
What we did: AMC designed and built the pump control board, installed the site electrical and pipework controls, and commissioned a fully automated system with remote control.

Outcomes

Up to 30% reduction in water waste
Energy-efficient operation
Smart automation and remote control
Low-maintenance design

ScopeRobotics · safety · controls

The brief: Speed up brick handling and packaging, reduce manual labour and make the work safer for operators.
What we did: AMC designed and installed a robotic palletising cell with full machine-safety guarding integrated into the cell design, integrated with the existing line.

Outcomes

Up to 50% faster production
Improved operator safety
Consistent, precise stacking
Scalable automation platform

Citrus packing conveyor control system

LocationRiverina NSW

SectorFood & beverage

ScopeDesign · build · program · commission

The brief: Control and safeguard a multi-section conveyor system for a citrus packing operation, merging product from two packing lines into a steady, evenly spaced flow for the downstream packaging equipment.
What we did: AMC designed and built the control panel in our Griffith workshop, including the PLC, a bank of safety relays for e-stops and guarding, and eight variable speed drives, then programmed and tested it before delivery. The control system manages the timing and traffic across every conveyor section: it meters product in from both sides, controls merging and accumulation, and holds or releases bags so the crate filler is fed a steady, evenly spaced flow without gaps, jams or pile-ups. On site we commissioned the full line, with an operator touchscreen showing every conveyor, sensor, sequence and alarm in plain English.

Outcomes

Smooth, gap-free feed to the downstream packaging equipment
Eight independently controlled conveyor drives
Safety circuits designed to AS 4024
Operator HMI with line overview, motor status and alarms
Tested in our workshop, commissioned on site
