CENTRIFEEDER ICV: ELECTRONICS
The CentriFeeder line of feeders provides accurate, real-time flow measurement, as well as near perfect control of flow rate and total. For blending applications, control the flow rate of an individual ingredient, or combine several CentriFeeders for near perfect recipe control. If you are controlling ingredients entering a batching process, use the CentriFeeder for controlling the total of one or more ingredients entered into the batch.
Please see below for additional information regarding the electronics packages that come standard with every CentriFeeder. All feeder styles are equipped with a set of remote electronics that can be mounted directly adjacent to the feeder or as far away as in a control room.
CENTRIFEEDER REMOTE ELECTRONICS
The CentriFeeder Digital Electronics is a remote electronics package that comes standard with every CentriFeeder. The electronics allows the user to enter a set point based on either flow rate or totalization and to control the flow of product to that set point. For filling applications, there is a special fill page that enables simple, push button control of fills. The standard electronics cable that comes with each meter measures 25 feet in length, but the length of the cable can be customized for installation in remote locations such as control rooms which can be several hundred feet from the meter's installation location. Below are just some of the remote electronics package's features and benefits:
