Custom
"PC-Batch"
Weigh Systems |
Custom
is best for all but the most basic
application. These systems are an "exact fit", and software for each one
is maintained separately, so all subsequent changes build off of the running baseline.

Bunker
Mill: Remote displays
direct skip loading of stationary boxes. Liquids are usually automatically
controlled into the boxes. Dumping can be to truck, or to flat storage. This saves putting
up a full feed mill, but requires a steady loader operator.
|
|
Dump
to Truck:
Scheduling of
loads can be downloaded from a bunkreader and the ingredients are pre-weighed into
overhead scales. The driver presses a remote to enable dumping, and can check a remote
display to verify the load information.
|
|
Routing:
Ingredients are weighed,
mixed, and routed to storage bins. Routing can be monitored or automatically control slide
gates and turnheads, and include a purge time to ensure adequate cleanout between rations.
|
|
Delivery:
It uses bunkreader calls to
fill the trucks from finish feed storage, using radio linked truck scales and control of
the overhead gates. It automatically schedules the batcher production, and it maintains a
running inventory of all overhead storage.
|
|
Feedmill:
Similar to routing systems,
but with added considerations for automated flush sequences, hand adds, and computer aided
hand-add stations.
|
|
Blending:
Like feedmills but lots of
added analog controls for maintaining pressure, and complex proof sequences for filling
and routing. The applications shown here are for the blending of plastic compounds.
