SGB Batch Blender with Mitsubishi Controller Page 67 of 118
the mixer section of the blender. If the dump delay is set, the mixer will
start before the weigh hopper dump will open for the selected time.
The blender will sit at rest until the high-level sensor in the mixing
chamber is uncovered to start another weigh cycle. (Unless the Re-Mix
timer is set to a value other than 0 and times out to restart the mixer to
run for another mix cycle.)
The level sensor is located on the back wall of the mixer chamber. If the
sensor is covered with material, the indicator light on the back of the
sensor will be lit.
Once this sensor is uncovered, the indicator lamp on the back of the
level sensor will go out. This level sensor must be uncovered for
approximately 1 - 2 seconds to indicate to the controller that there is
room in the mixing section to accept a batch of material.
When the controller has determined that the mixer is ready for an
additional batch of material, the controller will begin metering material
into the weigh hopper assembly.
5-8-13 Standard Run Time Displays
While the blending system is in operation, there are a couple of displays
available to the operator. These displays are selected simply by
pressing the “NEXT” key when the unit is running. The default display
shown when the blender is in run mode is the Recipe Screen.
The Recipe Screen indicates by feeder number, the amount of material
metered into the weigh hopper assembly by that particular feeder. This
display is updated after each component dispenses its specified
amount. The ingredient weights (Unit Values) are in pounds, unless the
metric display is selected.
Pressing the “NEXT” key when in the default recipe mode display will
toggle to the next screen, which is the Inventory Display. This can be
done at any time, but if the blender is in a critical mode such as
dumping, and updating inventory, etc., it may ignore the keystroke.
Simply press the “NEXT” key again, the Inventory screen will be
displayed.
