The traditional family-run business
Avesco AG based in Langenthal/
Switzerland was founded over 130
years ago. Avesco – previously
called Ulrich Ammann AG as a
member of the Amman Group – is
now an independent company.
Avesco is a competent partner
in the construction machine, civil
engineering, plant construction,
energy systems and material
handling sectors, and offers
tailored system solutions based on
its broad product range.

over different screens and by a process density separation. The
sand is also cleaned in an attrition process and sorted by density
using spiral separators. These kinds of gravel/sand products are
mostly used for in-house company operations. The accumulated
filter cakes are normally used in cement works as raw material
substitute or in landfill construction, depending on its quality and
level of contamination. Four employees are provided for operating
the plant with an annual running time of 2000 hours.
The plant – with a continuous material feed – is designed for a
product range of 0/2, 2/4, 4/8, 8/16, 16/32 and 32/X millimeters.
It has an output of 40 to 50 tons per hour. The sludge water
treatment system is designed for a maximum capacity of
200 cubic meters. The electrical connection load of all plant
components is 700 kW. The rainwater roof area is around 720
square meters – with a simple option for doubling it.
Single sourced automation solution
The Toggenburger excavated soil washing plant engaged the
services of Eaton because of its innovative solution concept.
Eaton’s products as well as its service and advisory support were
outstanding. The specified plant washing capacity of 120,000
tons a year of excavated soil reconditions a wide range of
contaminated materials into reusable sand and gravel fractions.
This required a standardized process monitoring system that
should also ensure increased functional reliability. A graphical
visualization of all relevant process data and error messages was
also required, as well as a simple operation facility using touch
display and PC solutions.
Eaton’s automation solution met all the requirements in full, also
significantly increasing the output of the plant. Today operation
and visualization are implemented at all stations in the same way –
both in the plant and in the office. All diagnostics data is provided
immediately. Eaton’s Galileo interactive visualization tool ensures
a clearly designed and user-friendly display. The following Eaton
products were used for the control concept: Three XC200 modular
PLCs, two XV440 HMI-PLCs, five XION gateways (Modbus-
TCP) and an ES4P-221-DMXD1 easySafety control relay. An ASI
controller was also used. The Eaton products had to process 350
inputs and 169 outputs (35 analog). The entire communication

between all controllers is implemented with Ethernet (Modbus
TCP). Remote maintenance and diagnostics functions are also
integrated and are implemented via the web interface of the
XC200.

pleased with the Eaton automation solution.
CoNCLuSIoN
Daniel Stutz, deputy plant manager at Toggenburger AG,
looks back: “We are very pleased with the entire solution.
Commissioning was completed without any problems and
communication between all operating devices functioned
directly at the start. The cause of any malfunctions that
develop can be identified quickly thanks to the clear and
uniform visualization. We can call up all process data, the
batch number or the individual operating hours from any
location.”
