| Simple or
sophisticated batch control Flexicon gain-in-weight
batching systems convey bulk ingredients mechanically or pneumatically
from any location to a central receiving vessel which is mounted
on load cells. The receiving vessel can be a hopper positioned
above a blender, reactor, or other process equipment, or it
can be the equipment itself.
When the batch sequence is initiated by a manual start button
or automated signal, a programmable controller activates the
first flexible screw conveyor or rotary airlock valve to begin
loading the first ingredient into the receiving vessel at
maximum feed rate.
Load cells transmit weight gain information to the controller
which steps-down the feed rate to dribble prior to reaching
the target weight, for greater accuracy. The controller
stops the flexible screw conveyor or rotary airlock valve
immediately before the target weight is reached to compensate
for material in-flight.
Whether you require loss-of-weight bulk bag
weigh batching units or complete gain-in-weight batching systems,
Flexicon offers the in-depth experience, the range of efficient
products, and the technical field support you need for guaranteed
weigh batching and blending results.

| Flexicon mechanical (above) and pneumatic
(below) gain-in-weight batching systems can transport
material from silos, manual dumping stations, process
equipment, bulk bags, or any other source to a weight
batching hopper, a blender, or other downstream equipment
mounted on load cells. |

| This Gain-in-Weight Batching System allows automated weighing of a major ingredient supplied in bulk bags, and a minor ingredient dumped manually. The central weigh hopper's load cells transmit weight gain information to a controller that starts and stops the conveyors to weigh each material in sequence, and actuates a slide gate valve to discharge the weighed batch. |
