Batching system for processing powders.


The company's 16-ingredient rubber compound batching system is said to be designed to accurately process powdered chemicals and precisely weigh each ingredient, and to complete the final batching.

The batching system consists of 13 two-speed electromagnetic vibratory vibratory /vi·bra·to·ry/ (vi´brah-tor?e) vibrating or causing vibration.

vibratory

vibrating or causing vibration; vibritile.
 feeders and three two-speed precision volumetric volumetric /vol·u·met·ric/ (vol?u-met´rik) pertaining to or accompanied by measurement in volumes.

vol·u·met·ric

Of or relating to measurement by volume.
 screw feeders made of 304 stainless steel stainless steel: see steel.
stainless steel

Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat.
. It also includes eight weigh stations A weigh station is a checkpoint along a highway to inspect vehicular weights. Usually, trucks and commercial vehicles are subject to the inspection. Overview
Weigh stations are equipped with scales, some of which permit the trucks to continue moving while being weighed,
 that feature weigh bases with individual, electrically powered rollers. The company's Model MTU-2500 bulk bag unloaders supply the chemicals to the feeders.

For optimum system performance, each powdered chemical was tested at the company's processing and testing center, and the system's feeders were selected based on accuracy and flowability of the product. During processing, materials are fed into a 2.5 cubic foot bin and weighed within [+ or -]0.01 pounds, with the final batching accuracy of [+ or -]0.05 pounds. The final batch is ready for the internal mixer.

This company also supplies Allen Bradley system controls designed and built in the company's on-site UL-listed panel shop.

The company is said to be a leading manufacturer of precision-engineered equipment, systems and controls for the rubber, plastics, chemical, recycling and other dry powder Dry Powder

Notes:
For example, if a venture capitalist expects bad times in the IPO markets you might hear him say something like, "we want to keep enough dry powder around to keep funding our
