Mixer Panel Fabrication & Startup

Integrated Control Panel Engineering for Food Manufacturing

Goya Foods required a centralized control solution capable of coordinating multiple process components, including motors, pumps, mixers, Contherms, pneumatic systems, and automated product-flow control. JC Automation engineered and fabricated a three-panel control architecture, executed Factory Acceptance Testing, and supported system startup after installation.

01

The Challenge

Goya Foods needed a centralized, reliable control system to coordinate multiple process components while supporting safe and consistent production operations.

  • Need for a centralized control system to manage multiple process components
  • Requirement to integrate motor control, pneumatic systems, and product flow control into a unified architecture
  • Reliable control of sixteen motors, pumps, mixers, and Contherms within the production process
  • System reliability, safety, and compliance supported through disciplined engineering and testing

Why These Projects Are More Complex Than They Appear

The project required electrical engineering, panel fabrication, motor control, pneumatic control, automated valve coordination, FAT, and startup support to operate as one integrated control solution.

1

Control Architecture

Design a multi-panel control system consisting of three integrated panels for coordinated process control.

2

Electrical Engineering

Develop detailed electrical schematics, panel layouts, and component specifications.

3

Master PLC Panel

Engineer the main control panel containing the Master PLC for system coordination.

4

Motor Control Panel

Provide motor control for sixteen motors, pumps, mixers, and Contherms.

5

Pneumatic Control Panel

Control product-flow direction through automated pneumatic valve operation.

6

FAT & Startup

Verify system functionality, safety, and operational performance before delivery and support startup after installation.

03

Technical Approach

JC Automation delivered the project from control-system design through fabrication, testing, delivery, and startup support.

  • Designed and engineered a multi-panel control system architecture consisting of three integrated panels
  • Developed detailed electrical schematics, panel layouts, and component specifications
  • Built the main control panel containing the Master PLC for system coordination
  • Built the motor control panel supporting sixteen motors, pumps, mixers, and Contherms
  • Built the pneumatic control panel for automated product-flow valve control
  • Assembled and wired control panels following defined quality and design specifications
  • Developed a Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) procedure including test cases and validation criteria
  • Executed FAT to verify system functionality, safety, and operational performance
  • Delivered the panels and provided one week of startup support after installation
