CENTRIFEEDER MCV: APPLICATIONS

Centrifeeder VIB brand feeders allow for flow measurement and vibratory control for continuous blending applications or for batching applications
The CentriFeeder line of feeders allow for both an 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.

The CentriFeeder MCV Integrates a flow measurement device with the flow control capabilities of an integrated slide gate to accurately measure and control the flow of any dry, free-flowing solid that can be controlled using a slide gate. Through the use of a highly customizable touch screen HMI, a PID control loop is established that modulates the slide gate feeding our patented flow measurement device. The outcome is an accurate, easily maintained, consistent flow that can be used for mixing, ratio control, or even bulk density measurement.

Below, are just a few of the ways that the CentriFeeder MCV has been utilized in the past. If you have your own application or if you would like to see if a CentriFeeder MCV will be right for your process, contact us today.

SINGLE UNIT APPLICATIONS




CentriFeeder MCV Single Unit Flow Control
For simple and accurate measurement and control of a single product, a single CentriFeeder MCV can be utilized. This simple but effective setup can be used for a variety of applications including coating, blending, batching and more. Since the MCV will control the flow rate of the product being fed through it, the control signal will be extremely smooth and is perfect for controlling additives, etc.

MULTIPLE UNIT APPLICATIONS




CentriFeeder MCV multiple unit applications

For accurate measurement and control of multiple products, multiple CentriFeeder MCV devices can be utilized, along with standard electronics and HMI programming working independently of one another for accurate batching or continuous blending of multiple products. The set-points for each of the individual units can also be sent to a master controller that will ensure proper ratios are maintained for the individual ingredients of nearly any blend.

CONTINUOUS BULK DENSITY MEASUREMENT



CentriFeeder MCV Bulk Density Measurement
The CentriFeeder MCV has an optional bulk density output that can be transmitted by various communication protocols including Ethernet/IP. Utilizing patented CentriFlow mass flow measurement technology which is based on the principal of Centripetal Force, a true mass flow measurement is obtained as the product stream passes over the Measurement Pan (no sampling is required). Meanwhile, the Integrated Control Valve, which is controlled to within 1 part in 1000 based on stroke, ensures that an extremely precise measurement of the volume of product is taken at the same time that the mass flow is being measured. The result is a highly accurate, dynamic bulk density measurement that is updated once a second, dynamically in-process.
