AFC Batch Weigh
The Batch-Weigh System automatically conveys powders, pellets, flakes, chips, and other bulk materials then weighs and dispenses them in precise amounts into mixers, hoppers, tanks, vessels and containers with 99% weighing accuracy or better. This integrated weighing system can transfer one or multiple ingredient(s) from multiple production equipment locations then weigh and dose into a single batching vessel. Over or under weighments due to operator error are virtually eliminated.
The Batch-Weigh consists of a control panel, load cells, variable frequency drive, receiving hopper, and hopper slide gate that sets and contains the batch weight. The integrated process controls incorporate the latest electronic technology in AC Inverter drives and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s). A front mounted, numeric keypad invites easy setup with recipe storage and recall, plus real-time adjustments at the push of a button through a simple, menu-oriented LCD display.
How to operate the weighing and dosing conveyor
After selecting a recipe and pressing the start button, the weigh controller takes over. One material at a time will be weighed to its predetermined set point and then the controller will index to the next material and so on until the last ingredient is weighed. Upon completion of the weighing cycle, the weigh controller initiates the dump sequence. This will actuate a valve and allow the contents of the scale to be emptied, the valve closed, and the batching operation completed.
Batch-Weigh is designed for versatility to suit a variety of bulk materials and installations, and may be custom-configured to suit any operating environment, including explosion hazard areas.
Your AFC Batch-Weigh may be tested in our fully-equipped Clifton, NJ test laboratory using your materials to simulate the actual operating environment before purchasing. Customer participation is welcomed on-site or by livestream.
