Ecoforniture: simpler, more reliable controls for recycling machinery
Ecoforniture rebuilds the electrics on waste-management and recycling machines. Adding Hardwire PDMs and CAN keypads to its retrofits has made those systems simpler and lower-maintenance.
CLIENT

BASED IN
Northern Italy
APPLICATION
Machinery retrofits and control cabinets
PRODUCTS USED
Hardwire PDMs, CAN keypads
2-wire
CAN bus replaces separate runs to every switch
Solid-state
Switching in place of fuses and relays
Retrofit
Upgrades existing machines rather than replacing them
The challenge
Ecoforniture refurbishes the electrical and hydraulic systems on machines used to recycle wood, plastic, metal and rubber. It builds custom cabinets and wiring and fits HMIs, PLCs and remote controls, and its customers want machines that run reliably for longer.
The solution
Ecoforniture now builds Hardwire PDMs into its retrofit work.
- Solid-state switching in the PDM replaces fuses and relays in the control cabinet
- CAN bus keypads replace banks of individual switches and their wiring
