Upofloor has expertise in flooring. Vinyl and Enomer floorings for public premises as well as dwelling houses are manufactured in Nokia and Ikaalinen. Manufacturing is carried out on the basis of ISO 9001 Quality System and ISO 14001 Environment System.
The mutual project of Dosetec and Upofloor focused on modernization of the present dosing system in Upofloor Factory. The system had got out of date and the maintenance was difficult. The operation of the equipment was secured by a Dosetec Dosing System. The target was to increase the capacity and improve the control and monitoring of the process. A new limestone scale was added to the system. That helps to dose the raw materials straight from the day silos. Thus the dosing process is speeded up and the risk of errors decreases. Discharging of the hopper scale into the mixers is carried out by a screw conveyor with two outlets provided with a flap valve and a flexible joint. The delivery also included a big bag unloading station. The automation control system is situated in a control room adjacent to the mixers.
The control and monitoring of the process is done by PC computer and an InTouch program. The process diagram, weighing displays and alarm data are shown on a PC monitor. The controlling of the process is done using Omron PLC.
