Automation

The Blentech ARTIS; Artisan Intelligence for Batch Systems is a cost-effective, cloud-based historian that remotely monitors and collects secure data from food and beverage operations. The system allows you to remotely gather data from your operations to aid with reducing downtime, thus improving production efficiency and remote record keeping.

Blentech knows the cost to your company when production equipment is unavailable, or the huge advantage you get from increasing your production by 15% through the efficient use of its capabilities. The ARTIS leverages the latest secure IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) to help you maximize your production and efficiency through customizable reports on our secure dashboard, allowing you to stay close, even at a distance. The data provided by the simple-to-use, cost-effective ARTIS is fully managed and easy to export using our confidential data protection practices. It integrates with any PLC/HMI and is backed up even if a connection is lost.

MANUAL CONTROL

Some applications are simple and a simple application requires a simple solution.  If you need to control a basic blender or a simple loader, connectivity and integration are not part of your plan and you still want the best equipment on the market, our team is ready to make that happen.

CRYOGENIC CONTROL

Cryogenics have found their niche in food. It is common to cool high value food products, chill meats for forming or another unique application with liquid nitrogen and CO2. Equipment design and mixing technology are key to performance, but real control requires more. It takes a precision beyond that of other heat exchange methods. Cryogens are effective but costly. They are fast but need additional safety considerations. Blentech’s AutoChef systems have focused equipment modules designed with advanced cryogen control in mind. They save you time and money while ensuring worker safety.

VACUUM CONTROL SYSTEMS

For company’s ready to get rid of that monthly cryogen bill, Blentech’s vacuum cooling systems offer energy efficiency and unsurpassed product quality while chilling even thick or solid foods.  But most foods require a precision vacuum control to limit foaming, volatile loss or carry over. Understanding this need, we developed an adaptive proprietary vacuum cooling control module that integrates with our full range of AutoChef systems that will help you get the most out of your vacuum cooling system.

PANEL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

The Blentech Automation Hub offers panel design and construction services. You can rely on our team to build your UL, c-UL or other design custom control enclosure.
