Mass Measuring Weighs Accurately * Vacuum Conveying, Hoppers, Fibc, Mixing *

Nov. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Weighing mixers have many benefits, including the reduction of associated weighing equipment, minimised headroom requirements and the ability to feed materials sequentially with a mixing cycle in between additions.
Mass Measuring’s solution included a 9000kg weigher, and yet accuracy to 50 gms.
In this particular application, new flour and sugar holding hoppers, together with vacuum receiving hoppers were supplied and the existing site flour and sugar vacuum distribution lines were modified to allow fully interlocked servicing of both the new and existing systems.
Control of these lines is routed through a new control panel, which allows users to select priority servicing in the cased of multiple calls arising.  Control of the system is achieved through a PLC with full parameter access and recipe handling included.  The system can store multiple individual recipes and all recipes are fully adaptable allowing not only targets to be changed, but also the order of the additional materials, therefore it is possible to have one recipe calling for al additions to be made followed by a single fast mix cycle, yet in another recipe add each ingredient with perhaps a slow mix cycle in between each, followed by a final fast mix cycle.
Facilities also allow the system to allow cycles to e terminated early if a target temperature is reached.
This system is typical of the flexibility Mass Measuring shows when deploying its considerable factory automation expertise.
