Custom Control Panel

TUTCO Farnam developed a 100% custom control panel for one of our customers who’s application required removing moisture from a powder. The unit can control three different styles of 15 heaters simultaneously while integrating into the customer's production process and control system. The 70 amp, 480 volt, 3 phase unit offers 15 zones, each with a circuit breaker and an alarm contactor that is set for a temperature point programmed for the individual heater. Three of the 15 zones are 120 volt and are connected to a 120 volt 2KVA transformer located on the outside of the cabinet. 

All of the controller’s components are housed in a Nema 4 enclosure, including the 30 amp SCRs which are all controlled by two Eurotherm’s Mini 8 controllers that connect through an ethernet port and feature eight zones each. The Mini 8 controllers are programed using Eurotherm’s iTools. All of the controls in the unit are 24-volt VC. The customer connections for heaters and thermocouples are conveniently located at the bottom of the unit just below the SCRs, which are cooled by highly efficient fans that are also located inside the cabinet. 

Tutco Farnam offers the very best in the design and engineering of custom heating controls. As with all of our custom solutions, our complete thermal systems are designed with performance, reliability, and cost in mind.
