Simple or sophisticated
batch control
Flexicon bulk bag loss-of-weight batching systems consist
of a Flexicon bulk bag discharger mounted on load cells which
measure weight loss of each discharger during the batching
cycle and transmit the information to a system controller.
The batch sequence is initiated by a manual start button
or automated signal.
As the conveyor unloads material at maximum feed rate, the
load cells transmit loss-of-weight information to the controller
which reduces the feed rate to dribble immediately prior to
stopping the flexible screw conveyor or rotary airlock valve
once the target batch weight has been discharged. System software
permits mid-batch bag changes.
Multiple weigh batch dischargers can each convey a different
ingredient to a central discharge point such as a hopper,
blender, reactor, or other process equipment.
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.

| Loss-of-Weight Batching Systems discharge one or more bulk bags while weighing the material and conveying the batch directly to a common hopper, blender, conveyor, shipping container, or any process vessel—automatically and accurately. Load cells transmit the amount of weight lost to a controller, which stops the conveyor once the target batch weight has been reached. |
