High accuracy mixer feeding.

Incorporating the latest loadcell weighing technology, the company's fillers, oils and polymer weighing systems are said to have been extensively proven to meet the most stringent accuracy requirements. When handling powdered ingredients such as carbon black, white fillers and silica, high accuracy feeding and precision cut-off are said to be key elements for high accuracy weighing. The company's airslide and screw feeders have now been enhanced to help the 3 Sigma accuracy requirements of many of the industry's quality standards, according to manufacturer. Similar accuracy levels can also be achieved on the company's high accuracy ALW liquid weigher and the LPW polymer weigher. In addition, both of these weighers are said to be robustly constructed to withstand the harsh mixing room environment. Maximum weighing accuracy is monitored via built-in weigher calibration systems and further enhanced by a range of process controllers and control systems. These controllers vary in capability and sophistication and are designed to meet all of the industry's diverse needs, according to the company. Included is the CR500 dedicated weighing controller, the distributed type DCS range and the CR3000, an NT based control system for batch and continuous processes. (BMH Chronos Richardson Ltd.)
