Rev. May 2001 GraviMaster-FGB-M05 (S) Page 3 Gravimetric Blender 1.0 INTRODUCTION GRAVIMETRIC FEEDING An effi cient materials blending system is an essential feature of the modern plastics processing industry. Dosing each component on the basis of weight shows distinct advanta ges over traditional volumetric systems. The quantity of material delivered is precise and unaffected by variations in bulk density, fl ow characteristics and particle size. Ferlin Plastics Automation now have a ra

May 2001 GraviMaster-FGB-M05 (S) Page 4 Gravimetric Blender RELIABLE PROCESS CONTROL The FGB control system incorporates the latest in computer and micro processor technology for total automation of recipe entry and stora ge, inventory control and process monitoring. The control panel (user-interface) is provi ded with a micro-controller and industrial PC with LCD-display, functional keyboard, fi ber optic communication cable (or RS-422) and parallel printer port. Features are:

Then each of the requested components is dispensed and weighed in the weigh-pan. When all the components of the recipe are correctly weighed, the blend is dischar ged into the mixing-chamber. A horizontal mixer mixes the compo nents to a uniform blend which discharges to a storage bin, or direct ly i

Rev. May 2001 GraviMaster-FGB-M05 (S) Page 6 Gravimetric Blender Pause When the pause-command is given for a temporary stop the blender will stop after the cycle is complete. Stop requested The blender is operating but has received a stop-command. The stop-command will be executed at the end of a batch-cycle. This status will be replaced automatically with ‘standby’ if nothing is done. If a start-command is given during the status ‘stop requested’ the status will be ‘operate’ again.

Rev. May 2001 GraviMaster-FGB-M05 (S) Page 8 Gravimetric Blender 2.6 Dispense modes The blender has two ways of dispensing: gravimetric and volumetric. One mode can be selected or a combination of both. This can be defi ned choosing menu (F1) ‘controller / public parameters’. Gravimetric All component of the batch are dispensed and measured separately. Gravimetric is more accurate than volumetric, but takes more production time, ie., lower output. Volumetric All components of the batc

Rev. May 2001 GraviMaster-FGB-M05 (S) Page 9 Gravimetric Blender 2.7.2 Recipe to weight calculation After a start-command the controller will calculate the requested weights of all components of the selected recipe. A recipe can be defi ned in two ways: ‘Standard’ and ‘Percentage’. These methods can be defi ned in the recipe choosing menu (F1) ‘recipes / edit recipes’. The methods ‘Standard’ end ‘Percentage’ defi ne the relation of the components (Regrind, Natural and Additive) in a re

Example Batchweight 2000 gr. Regrind 20.0% Natural 1 60.0% Natural 2 15.0% Additive 5.0% Regrind : 20.0% of 2000.0 400.0 Natural 1 : 60.0% of 2000.0 1200.0 Natural 2 : 15.0% of

Choose for this defi nition menu (F1) ‘controller / public parameters’. A maximum of two hoppers (additive) can be defi ned (additiveToRegrindHopper). The defi nition must be completed defi ning the requested percentage (additiveToRegrindPerc). ADDITIVE TO REGRIND Not activated Activated with 2.0% Compone

If the controller has these sensors, ‘Stock-Silo’ regrind control can be activated, choosing menu (F1) ‘controller / protected parameters’. If the high-sensor is true, the silo is almost full. Therefore more regrind will be dispensed. This is the same as described in ‘empty regrind control’. This will be done unt

Rev. May 2001 GraviMaster-FGB-M05 (S) Page 13 Gravimetric Blender 2.7.6 Dispensing Dispensing of the different components will start after the calculation of the related weights. The components are dispensed in the order as defi ned in the recipe (gravimetric only). In volumetric mode all components are dispensed at the same time. Every mechanical valve has a reaction time. The controller uses the ‘Hardware Reaction Time’ to calculate the time which the dispense valve must be activated.

Of course the relations within the recipe will corrected by re-calculations. After the fi rst dispense try in all of the above mentioned cases a new dispense rate will be calculated. If the measured dispenserate (measured weight / dispense time) differs from the used dispenserate a correction can be made. A corre

This is shown at the user interface and can also be printed. * Batch data - measured weight (each component) - dispenserate of each component - recalculation to recipe * Total data - Sum of batch data * Material usage - dispensed amount of each hopper - percentages The controller saves all data in battery-backup memory.
