Advanced technology for waste treatment optimization

During the last 20 years, municipalities switched from a model focusing on burying and burning waste to processing and value addition. Nowadays waste is considered as a precious resource that can be transformed and reused. Waste is now centralized in modern facilities with renewed business models and philosophy. Pioneer in this field and rich of more than 47 years of experience in the power transmission industry. I-MAK recently added a key references to their list of project, in close collaboration with the municipality of Pendik in south Istanbul and various Turkish companies, I-MAK developed special solution for the first fully automated waste treatment plant in Turkey. With a capacity of 2.000 Tons per month, this new installation is automatically sorting various sort of waste using the latest automation technologies. 

 I-MAK solutions are also contributing to the reduction of energy consumption and process optimization. Using our new I-MAK-E program and devices, we are offering to the customers the possibility to monitor all the dynamic and evolutions of their gearboxes. Combined in a single device, I-MAK-E system is measuring and tracking a combination of key data. Customers are now able to measure and follow the vibration, temperature and noise level of the gearbox. Collected and compiled together these data are compared with the initial activity “finger print” of the gearboxes, in the same time collected data are set to give particular alarm when figures reach a certain level. Following the global tendency of the market, this key addition to our range of solutions is helping our customers to move from periodic to condition based maintenance. Walking together to reduce unplanned downtime, increase lifetime and reinforce plant security with less onsite maintenance and control.
