Rubber batching.This 16-ingredient rubber compound batching system is designed to accurately process powdered chemicals and to precisely weigh each ingredient and the final batching. The 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 adj. 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. The company also supplies Allen Bradley system controls that are designed and built in the firm's on-site UL-listed panel shop. This company manufactures precision-engineered equipment, systems and controls for the rubber, plastics and other dry powder Dry Powder A slang term for cash reserves kept on hand to cover future obligations. 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 and solids processing industries.
