INTELLIGENTLY NETWORKED AND SOLID
Conveyor technology from KÖHL is characterised by its extremely robust supporting structure, great ease of assembly, and energy-efficient, frequency-regulated drive technology.
The relevant material and transport systems are developed and manufactured in-house - according to requirements, and custom made for high material flow availability. Future potentials are sounded out with process analyses, simulation studies and calculations of economic efficiency.
KÖHL offers a fully-automated checking system which surpasses current market requirements. This system checks Euro- and half pallets for their load bearing capacity and high shelf stackability. Individually configurable and customisable sorting criteria allow for the correct assessment and sorting of the pallets according to their intended use. The system can check up to 365 Euro pallets or 450 half pallets per line per hour, depending on the module configuration.
It consists of one conveyor unit for restacking the empty pallet stack, one checking line, and a subsequent sorting unit. The empty pallet stack is transported by way of highly reliable and robust conveyor technology. In the pallet destacker, the stacks are separated and the pallets are fed onto the checking line. Depending on the requirements, several checking lines can be installed in parallel. The system ensures that only fault-free pallets will be fed into the material flow (palletising and conveying systems, high-stack stores and shelf operating units).

Business and manufacturing understand each other with MOM 95!
They speak a different language: humans and IT-systems at the business level on the one hand, and at the production level on the other hand. KÖHL Manufacturing Operations Management MOM 95 eliminates these “language barriers” with a standard terminology! Communication between the systems becomes consistent and efficient. MOM 95 optimizes the processes with accurate and timely information exchange regardless of size, industry or degree of the company’s automation.
KÖHL Manufacturing Operations Management MOM 95 is ISA-95 compliant. It defines the interface between business and manufacturing with regard to models, activities, and dataflow. The ISA-95 standard consists of 5 parts. The goal of the IT-integration of corporate management (Level 4) with the control systems (Level 2) is the clear definition of system limits and responsibilities that can be applied in all branches of industry.
Based on the start and finish dates that are specified by ERP (outline planning), the automatic order scheduling system creates detailed order scheduling (detailed planning) taking into account all the relevant influencing parameters, like:
The EBR module in MOM95®, makes available all the relevant batch and production data electronically.
By means of continuous target/actual comparisons, an early warning system indicates discrepancies and the corresponding action is logged. Clearly arranged representations make it possible to compare several batches with one master batch. In this way, the system shows the measured values as a trend curve and it can be combined with the display of alarm data.
The module makes it possible to implement electronic signatures in accordance with 21 CFR 11. The manufacturer documentation is archived as a write-protected version. The module allows you to export the batch records in a wide variety of different formats (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.) It is also possible to merge several batches into one overall batch record.
The smart Machine-To-Cloud Solution
The KÖHL IIoT-Server is a smart Machine-To-Cloud solu-tion that collects and handles data at the shopfloor leveland forwards it to a Cloud or Fog environment.
This is where the data is stored, analysed and archived.This is how we raise your production to a future-prooflevel. An intelligent production optimizes process work-flows, maintenance, energy consumption and servicemanagement.
HIGHLIGHTS
Today, large volumes of data are increasingly overloading higher level IT systems. KÖHL's Embedded Automation Computer (EAC) offers the secure solution. EAC adapts interfaces, gathers process data, prepares it and provides it to the IT system in a database. If the connection is lost, the data coupler buffers the data and restores it automatically once the connection is made again.

Cooling down the tobacco via multiple conveyors and long distances is one way. The best way for cooling down the tobacco is the fast and gentle cooling process of HEINEN KÖHL.
Tobacco Cooling Conveyor (TCC)
HEINEN KÖHL has developed a gentle treatment process which has optimized the cooling of tobacco. The tobacco cooling conveyor improves the cooling process after the tobacco dryer and keeps the tobacco quality. Because the tobacco is not moved, mechanical stress on tobacco -that causes particle degradation- does not exist. The cooling air will be sucked from the top through the tobacco and the belt into the extraction funnels.
Further advantages:
Heating System
The heating system of the FAS unit can process flavour types (e.g. menthol), that require heating in order to reach a processable viscosity. It guarantees that all vital components of the unit maintain uniform temperature during production, thus ensuring that the viscosity of the flavour remains constant from tank up to spray nozzle. The heating devices can easily be deactivated for flavour types that have a processable viscosity level at room temperature.
Tank System
The FAS unit is equipped with an external mobile tank with a capacity of about 45 litres. It can be filled and hermetically closed at separate area. The insulated enclosed tank contains a heating system permitting to melt pure menthol offline or during production. The tank is equipped with a quick-plug connection for liquid as well as for electrical supply. Changing the tank can be done without stopping the maker.
The filling station is available for bin filling or C48 case filling for continuous tobacco flow. The filling procedure for bins and cases will be affected automatically and optionally includes after filling fine dosing.
Cases will be erected manually and can be equipped with PE-liners automatically. After the filling procedure liners and cases can be closed automatically before strapping. Compared to other standard filling stations the HEINEN KÖHL filling stations have a reduced height due to the use of push chains.
Depending on the mass flow the filling system is available as mono, double or triple shaft filling station.
HEINEN KÖHL offers various flexible bin handling systems which contain different components and thus can be properly adapted to the building’s restrictions and to the process’ requirements.
Besides standard solutions for the logistics of bins, the bins can be handled via distribution cart, pile handling system or automated guided vehicle (AGV).
The stacking device of the bins is designed for fast stacking and de-stacking. Each stacking device can be equipped with a lid handling system which will automatically take off or close the lid of the stacked bins.
To reduce dust emission and product degradation bin tipping will be supported by slow back moving of bins enabling product pouring.
The tobacco will be stored in standard wooden bins which are normally equipped with an RFID chip that allows flawless tracking and control by the KÖHL WMS (warehouse management system). Even dedicated bins can be managed with our bin handling system.
With the special experiences and know-how, HEINEN KÖHL has developed automated systems for the tobacco industry such as end of line palletizing solution
The end of line palletizing solution (EOL) of HEINEN KÖHL is a complex, flexible and reliable installation for fully automated palletizing of shipping cases performed by industrial robots. Such system consists of elements like case handling, robot cell, pallet supply, wrapping, labelling, safety equipment, control system, etc.
The heart of the EOL – the robot cell – picks up the arriving shipping cases from the accumulating conveyor and places them in layers on pallets. Up to four different brands can be handled simultaneously by one robot. The shipping cases can be palletized in 3 or 4 layers with changing pattern to ensure a stable pile by overlapping.
The robot is equipped with a special gripper using both, vacuum and mechanical clamping to ensure a safe conveying of the shipping case. That also increases the precision of the case placement on the pallet.
The shuttle cart or pallet conveyors bring the full pallets to an automatic wrapper and label applicator, where after the wrapped and labelled pallets leave EOL towards stock or commissioning area.
A special attention is given to the safety of the system which guarantees that no unintended accident can happen during the operation of the robot.
Several robot cells can be controlled from one master system. Along with the visualisation software HEINEN KÖHL also provides all necessary interfaces to the factory production database, ERP or T&T system.
