Scalding Process

Control System for the Scalding Process

JBS turned to Altus technology to resolve the mechanical failures that were negatively affecting its slaughtering process, leading to significant product losses at the unit.

Reducing Waste and Improving Energy Efficiency

The scalding stage plays a crucial role in the production process, removing residual hair and sterilizing the carcass skin by applying controlled flames. The previous system wasn’t fully synchronized with the pig transport belt, and at times, the four burners responsible for managing the flames would not activate properly. This lack of synchronization resulted in quality issues, with some products being overexposed to the flames and burning, while others weren’t heated long enough.

Data Collection

Real-time monitoring of operational variables through smart sensors, providing up-to-the-minute data

Enhanced Precision

Positioning sensors installed to signal when the carcass is properly aligned with the burners

Control

Standardized heat intensity for each burner involved in the process

Cost Efficiency

The new system significantly reduced product losses caused by burning or incomplete sterilization

Redução de Desperdício e Eficiência Energética

Reducing Waste and Improving Energy Efficiency

To reduce product waste at this stage, an XP325 PLC was installed to synchronize the four burners using clock sensors. This automation ensured consistent heat application on both sides of the carcass. The maintenance team also installed positioning sensors to detect when the carcass is in place, triggering the flames only at the appropriate time.

The new architecture has dramatically reduced product loss due to burning or insufficient sterilization. It has also led to savings in gas consumption, as the flames are activated only when necessary.

Independência e segurança com a tecnologia Altus

Independence and security with Altus technology

To ensure the team could fully leverage the capabilities of the Altus PLCs and other equipment used in the modernization, we provided tailored technical training to the maintenance staff at the client's headquarters.

Carlos Henrique Azambuja, JBS automation technician and developer of the process logic, emphasized the readiness of the Altus technical team in assisting with adjustments and noted how the training programs were pivotal to the project’s success. "A lot of what I know today came from Altus' online certification training," he says.

Jairo de Quadros, the unit’s maintenance and project coordinator, highlights that the independence offered by Altus’ technology platform is one of its key advantages. "The autonomy I get from using Altus PLCs is incredibly reassuring. It gives me confidence in our daily operations. I truly believe in and trust your (Altus) products," Jairo stated.
