This screen will allow you to Open or Close the Feeder, Weigh Hopper,
Mixer Knife Gate, Empty the Entire Blender, Start or Stop the Mixer
Motor, Test the Alarm Output, Find out the Mixer Proximity Status and
monitor the Current Hopper Weight.
The dump valve opens as soon as the “Press to Open Feeder” key is
pressed. This easy feeder clean out option also serves as a means for
emptying a batch that is held in the weigh hopper if the “Press to Open
Weigh Hopper” key is pressed when the blender is stopped. Touch the
picture of the hopper you wish to open or close to select the feeder you
desire to empty and close the dump valve. Touch the “Done” key to
return to the recipe menu. After entering a recipe, the operator will
restart the blending system, putting it back in normal operation.
Important!
Before starting SGB blending systems, each ingredient hopper in
the current recipe must contain material! Virgin material must be
loaded in hopper #1 and hopper #3 should only be used for
regrind!!
Once the operator initiates the run mode of operation, the blending
system controller will begin monitoring the mixer high-level switch.
Nothing will happen until the mixer high-level switch is uncovered. This
tells the controller that the mixing chamber is capable of holding another
batch of material.
Once the mixer high-level switch is uncovered, and the weigh hopper
has dumped, the system will meter the ingredients from the supply
hoppers, through the metering units, into the weigh hopper. Each
component will be metered individually to allow accurate weighing of
the material.
Once the final ingredient specified in the recipe has been metered into
the weigh hopper, the controller will take a final weight reading of the
weigh hopper. This will start the “Dump Delay” timer. (See Section 5-8-
9). Once the dump delay timer has timed out, the controller will activate
the weigh hopper dump valve, initiating the weigh hopper dump cycle.
The open weigh hopper dump door will allow the material to drop into
