Modular Power and Controls Building

ACS “Apex Controls Specialists” introduces the Modular Power and Controls building. The building was first utilized in 1999 as a means of building modular controls for extrusion systems. Since then, the building has been utilized for many different processes offering the following benefits:

Hazard Containment: The building comes standard with fire and smoke detection. If a fire should occur, the fire stays contained within the building and not spread to the rest of the outside buildings or processes. A dry chemical suppression system can also be added within the building to quickly contain a fire. The building has been designed for liquid feed systems that pump volatile, explosive chemicals. The building units are designed with blow-out walls for containment from other outside structures.

Equipment Lifecycle: Equipment that is placed in the building is protected from dust and outside process contamination. The unit comes standard with a positive pressure system. When the door is opened, a blower starts and blows air out the door and keeps outside contaminates from entering the room. The lifecycle of the equipment is greatly improved.

Completed Wiring: All equipment mounted in the room can have all internal wiring completed. Power and controls cables leaving the room can be on an easy plug-and-play concept so that much of the wiring can be completed and tested before the unit leaves our facility. By having much of the wiring already completed can save time at the installation of the process, which can mean fewer interruptions on an existing plant floor.

Mobile Asset: Since the unit is modular it can easily be disconnected and moved to a different location and connected back up and in operation in no time.

Different Models: ACS has completed several models of the building:

CCC “Compounding Control Center” – The main control center houses the MCC, heater panel, main PLC panel and main extruder drive. The entire system is on the plug/receptacle concept.

UCC “Utility Control Center” - The control center mainly houses MCC’s and PLC’s used to support ancillary equipment for a process. By using MCC’s, there is one main power connection at the MCC and the unit becomes a power distribution center for multiple loads.

PCC “Process Control Center” - This model can house controls systems or equipment such as containment of pumps that move volatile chemicals, blowers for sound improvement, and simple processes that need to be mobile for multiple uses.

Modular Power and Controls Building

The unit can be used for many applications and can be built for an outdoor location if needed.

The units are fabricated using solid steel construction. They are built to withstand world-wide shipping needs. ACS also has a unit that has been designed using a standard sea crate.

We, at ACS, see the unit as an affordable way to extend equipment lifecycle, contain hazards, reduce install and startup times, and provide a mobile asset that can be easily disconnected and re-shipped to other locations.
