Hardy Instruments and Melfi Technologies from the 2011 Chicago Rockwell Automation Fair discussing a Loss-in-Weight feeder retrofit at a large coffee manufacturer.
The Journal, Rockwell Automation - June 2012Learn how an automotive supplier improved plastics extrusion feeder control and enhanced product quality by using a universal feeder control system integrated with programmable controllers.Mixing various resins, powders and liquids correctly to extrude plastics to specification can be tricky. It gets trickier when you work with proprietary “black box” controls that often are difficult to integrate to prevent one from creating a seamless control system, or
get it to adapt to your specific needs.
CONTROL Global - September 2009Converting from Batch to Continuous Brings Great Benefits, but Also Creates Automation Challenges.If your plant has batch processes, significant production improvements can be realized by converting all or part of your processes to continuous operation.But realizing these improvements can be quite challenging because converting processes from batch to continuous is complex.
Representing the best process technology for mixing and batching
Would you like the capability to totally control your process? Would you like to reduce costs, cycle time and clean-up? Imagine what life would be like if your mixer could give you consistent quality, or even combine processes with the touch of a button.

Continuous Viscous Mixing
Mix multiple dry materials with multiple liquids continuously, ensuring a homogenous mix at the end of the mixing cycle. Its durable design allows it to handle high-shear and high-viscosity materials with ease. It doesn’t stop there — the Continuous Processor can also be used for low-viscosity applications and gentle kneading.
