Setpoint Batching Fills Bags with Flour
Accuweigh’s Perth branch recently installed a Rinstrum R420 for setpoint batching duties at Western Milling’s plant in Northam, WA. The setpoint batching indicator is used for filling 25kg bags with flour and breadcrumbs.
The Rinstrum R420 setpoint batching indicator replaced an early version Toledo setpoint indicator that didn’t have up-to-date batching functionality to enable it to perform to the clients evolving needs.
The setpoint batcher is connected to a platform scale that is fitted with a bag clamp and positioned under an overhead product hopper. Product is conveyed into the bag until the R420 setpoint batcher switches off the output.
Some of the R420 setpoint batching indicator’s features include:
- Automatic in-flight compensation
- Auto-top up routines for inconsistent feeder operation
- 100 recipe storage
- Comprehensive product totals, variation % and number of bags
- Operator ID’s
- Multiple input and output functions eliminate the need for a PLC
- Fast and consistent operation
Rinstrum’s R420 setpoint batcher contains thousands of lines of selectable batch controlling sequences that enable this innocuous looking device compare favourably with PC based batching systems from not too long ago.
Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company and has branches in all mainland states providing after sales service on setpoint batchers, batching controllers and batching systems.
