Hopper weighing batcher Ì8500

Application: The batcher is used for cyclic batching automation (including packaging units) and also for stock-taking of material consumption in various fields of industry.

Description: It is provided for automatic batching and total calculation of bulk (grain, bran, cereals, seeds, granulated sugar, dry pulp and other fine granulated and powder products). It is recommended to use the batcher for automatic measurement of material consumption and total volume, anf also for discrete weighing and batching of fine-dyspersated lump and dust-forming materials. Batchers are used in engineering processes of metal, metal mining, agricultural manufacture, in cement and coal plants, during construction materials production, and also in other fields of industry.


Hopper batcher is controlled by the control unit and equipped with weight-measuring system on load cells. Material is weighed in the weighing hopper during operation. When previously adjustem values are exceeded, actuating mechanisms are cut off/switched. Control cabinet on microprocessor technology has a digital indicator, and also analogous and interface outputs for connection to the upper-level automated control system. To create a scale network it is possible to connect up to 30 batchers to the computer. The batcher is a complete plant in engineering processes control systems, but it also can be applied separately.

Benefits:

  • simplicity and serviceability;
  • if worm feeder is used, loading can be carried out in two stages (two speeds);
  • Data exchange with PC via RS485 interface;
  • wide operating temperature range (from -30 to +40 Ñ);
  • four load cells in the corners of the loading area;
  • protection from external factors due to powder enamel coating and safety casing;
  • warranty period – 2 years.

Standard functions

  • indication of shipped mass counter, current weight;
  • current parameters transfer via serial interface RS485;
  • error display .
  • working modes:
    • “autonomous” – batching with values keyboard entry;
    • “complex” – batching with computer-assigned values;
    • “setting-up” – adjustment and calibration.

Software: Driver DevCom provides basic set of communication functions:

  • It allows to setup connection,
  • To transfer operator’s commands to the scale terminal,
  • Receive and display weighing results, and also transfer them to the backup indicator panel (if any),
  • It also has the same functions if DevCom is started from the user application (examples are included in the delivery set).
If you need to connect several scales to one PC using network bus RS485, you should use the driver "DEVNet", supplied on request.
