Classify with Feeder Scout How do you make someone explain the properties of the bulk material when it is practically not measurable data such as product type and flow behavior? In order to select the right knowledge of a product feeder is indispensable. In addition to matters such as bulk density, particle size, temperature, pressure and dosing are mainly the product type and the flow behavior essential data. The product type and flow behavior are difficult to classify in practice; this are not specify any standards. What calls the n powder, calls the other grain. What is a normal flowing product in the perception of one producer, is the other manufacturer with a very good running product and so we can still mention a few examples. Feeder Scout as a tool for classifying product type and flow behavior The online program Feeder Scout is a simple tool to classify product type and flow behavior and capture. Thus it easier to select the correct feeder. Moreover, it is thus possible to communicate

Mahltechnik Görgens en JAVO procestechniek bouwen samen, in opdracht van een klant in de Benelux, een pilot plant voor het malen van vochtige organische materialen. In nauwe samenwerking met JAVO en Görgens is een mobiele installatie ontworpen die gebruik maakt van standaard containers. Hierdoor kan deze installatie eenvoudig getransporteerd worden en ook op diverse locaties worden opgebouwd. De Görgens turborotor is zeer geschikt om vezelige producten fijn te malen en zorgt voor een fijner en droger product dan bijvoorbeeld een hamermolen. De warmte die vrij komt bij het malen van de materialen wordt gebruikt om het product te drogen, hierdoor stijgt de calorische waarde van het materiaal. De complete pilot plant bestaat o.a. uit: • opslag bunker • doseersysteem • metaal afscheider • Görgens turborotor • container met besturingskasten • filter installatie • schroef voor de afvoer van het gemalen product

fast, accurate and product-friendly The ALFRA FCCD with dosingtainer adds a new dimension to ingredient dosing. It makes it possible to dose ingredients directly from containers into the weigher. With the ALFRA Dosing Slide under the containers, you get fast accurate and product-friendly dosing. Twilmij “The high dosing accuracy and waste-free switching of containers were the main motives for use to invest in the FCCD,” said René Slagmolen, director of Dutch premix manufacturer Twilmij. He continued, “In addition, the FCCD needs limited floor space due to the use of containers rather than silos. This was beneficial for use since our current factory has no space for high silos.” The original ALFRA FCCD Flexible Container Component Dosing system incorporates a unique weigher-in-weigher system for extremely high accuracy and flexibility when dosing dry powders, granulates and pellets. With this innovative technology it is possible to dose into the weigher directly from containers rather than

DC version In the meantime the FLEX series of instruments exists out of three models, namely the 1. standard FLEX with active sense and a variable number of inputs and outputs. 2. FLEX-2100, with a passive sense and a fixed number of inputs and outputs. 3. 2 and 4 channel FLEX, suitable for 2 or 4 weighers, each with a passive sense and a variable number of inputs and outputs. In many applications the power supply is not a mains but a battery, 12 or 24 V d. Examples you find in road traffic, internal transport, shipping, the offshore industry, hoists and transportable equipment. The absence of mains however does not mean there is no need for weighing. That’s why the existing range expands with a version, fit for voltages between 9 and 24 V dc. The well-known characteristics, a flexible controller with a high measure and control speed, having an operator terminal with a “touch panel”, several communication entries, inputs and outputs remains unchanged. Furthermore software

can be used to read up to 64 weighing systems VWO’s multi channel wireless weighing systems RCB5000, is designed for a reliable transmission of all types of weighing systems over distances up to 3000 m in industrial environment, it is enabling a significant reduction in all types of control and measurement cables between units and the PLC/automatic controller and between units themselves. The receiver part of RCB5000 systems can be used to read up to 64 weighing systems. Principle The basic RCB5000 weighing system includes a transmitter unit and a receiver unit for up to 200m. The radio units can communicate in unidirectional or bi-directional mode using a single frequency (technology based on a transceiver). The transmission systems use a technology based on our extensive experience in this field (+/- 15 years), i.e. tried and tested in industrial applications such as steel works and foundries and in an environment where the electromagnetic interference may be very strong. They operate either in the

These cabinets allow machine builders to create new or existing systems much easier. These control cabinet for controlling the various filling and dosing processes are available as a component and suitable for controlling; • Vibrating convayors (by Frequency controller) • Feeders (via Motor drives controllers ) • Dosage valves (using Switch Contacts) With the controller you get a two speed filling process. It starts with a coarse filling at high speed and ends with a fine filling at low speed to achieve the desired accuracy. For a simple filling and dosing process, no further controls are required. These control panels are based on the Flintec FT-13 weighing controller. This controller is standard programmed with 7 filling modes. These are easily adjustable by changing parameters and used in filling and emptying processes. The dosing can be done in net or gross mode. Optionally an additional port can be installed for communication over an industrial bus (eg Profibus, Ethernet, etc.) with external systems Components of known brands

A simple feeding job can disturb a production process or lead to waste product if the engineering of the feeding application has not been done carefully or if the wrong equipment is used. The requirements for the mechanical design of a powder feeder is large: - the feeder must ensure the massflow in the hopper - the helix or screw has to be filled without interruption and with product of constant density - variable capacity range increase the flexibility of a feeder - easy cleaning should reduce the down time of a plant For many years, Gericke has been manufacturing all different kind of feeders. Many of them are still doing their job in a very reliable manner. The lot of experience that Gericke gained in designing and delivering of conveying, feeding and mixing equipment characterise the feeders’s design. The best electronic tool cannot overcome the limits of the physical properties and behaviour that powders show within a hopper or feeder. To offer highest

High Speed Dosing system SPIROMATIC has designed a high speed dosing system, the PANTER. The new drive system starts the weighing robot under a high speed and moves noiseless under the hoppers. Powder recipes are dosed and accurately weighed under an extremely high speed. The specialy designed software and the accurate drive controller guarantee a high frequency of starts and stops. All PANTERS can be simultaneously set in on different drives and weigh hoppers on different production lines. The PANTER is operated by a Siemens or Allan Bradley PLC.
