Automated Flexible Conveyor launches Batch-Weigh System
AFC automates transfer, weighing, dispensing into central discharge point.
Batch-Weigh Systems from process equipment manufacturer Automated Flexible Conveyor, Clifton, NJ, may be configured to automatically transfer, weigh, and dispense multiple materials fed from multiple locations to a common discharge location.
Integrating proprietary weighing technology, PLC-based process controls, and load cells with the company's SPIRALFEEDER flexible screw conveyor, the Batch-Weigh System is ideal for loading multiple powders, granules, flakes, pellets, and other bulk materials into mixers, blenders, hoppers, tanks and containers, each in precise, preset amounts. Eliminating the potential for over and under weighments due to human error, the Batch-Weigh System achieves a 99% or better batch weighing accuracy to ensure the mixture, blend, and end product meet the targeted specifications every time. Suppliers can transfer and weigh precise amounts of sugar, flour, cinnamon and other ingredients from multiple hoppers or locations and discharge them into one location, like a mixer.
