Hi-5 Touch Screen HMI — Intelligent control for BloApCo Shredders
Upgrade to one central control panel for operation and advanced system diagnostics
Upgrade your shredder to a single, powerful control center. The Hi-5 Touch Screen HMI brings modern touchscreen control, advanced diagnostics, and preventive-maintenance tools to all BloApCo shredders — so operators spend less time troubleshooting and more time running.
Why Hi-5 HMI?
- See everything at a glance. Real-time and historical performance data let you monitor motor amperage, safety switches, alarm history and material overloads.
- Protect your investment. Use accurate system information to build lifetime preventive-maintenance schedules and reduce unplanned downtime.
- Simple, intuitive operation. A graphical touch interface makes start/stop, parameter changes and alarm resets straightforward; pushbutton redundancy preserves control if the panel is damaged.
- Robust hardware. High-performance processors, high-resolution displays and ample flash/dynamic memory keep the interface fast and responsive.
- Upgrade from pushbuttons to Hi-5 HMI
Switch from traditional pushbutton panels to a modern touchscreen experience without losing essential redundancy — perfect for shops that want better visibility and simpler control without compromising safety.
