Agitator Control
Replace manual agitator control with automated PLC driven control. Choose when to run the agitator, how long to run and what speed to run at during a blend cycle.
Batch Records
Track all your blend cycles and choose what data to store. Standard stored data includes the product, blend speed, blend time, operator, and time stamp, but can be modified to meet each customers needs.
CFR Part 11 Compliance Programming
Meeting all the standards and requirement of the pharmaceutical industry is our specialty.
Conversion of Pneumatic Logic to Digital Control Systems
Many original blender designs include pneumatic triggers/signals to operate. These can fail or become difficult to maintain. We replace all of these with PLC driven digital logic control.
Data Trending
Automatically record data and graph or store as a csv file.
Humidity and Temperature Sensor Input
Improve product quality with Drying cycles that track Humidity & Temperature and adjust the drying time based on the readings.
Heating, Cooling & Solvent Recovery
Centralize all the controls for your dryer into one place with our advanced heating package integration and/or Solvent Recovery system. This will allow the drying cycle to respond to any problems and notify personnel to prevent product damage or loss.
Inflatable Seal
Inflatable seals provide a quick and efficient method for establishing a sealed connection for blender charging and discharging.
Panel Purge System
Meet hazardous area safety requirements with a panel purge system.
PLC Automation
Replace the simple timer and manual positioning with an automated PLC controlled system. This opens up multiple features to add to your blending system. Automated blend cycles, auto positioning, multiple blend cycle settings and steps, record tracking, preset blend recipes, system integration, auto discharge and more.
Recipe Management
Store preset blend cycle recipes in the PLC and have the option of restricting editing access. These setting can include blend speed, blend time, product humidity reached, product temperature reached and more. This will simplify the blend process and maximize quality control.
Remote Operator Panel
Remote operator panels increase production speed by minimizing the delay of walking to the main control panel for separate processes. Second floor loading, discharge control, cleaning controls and more.
Safety Laser Scanner(s) and Light Curtains
Meet safety requirements by implementing safety laser scanners or light curtains. This will prevent the blender from rotating during unsafe conditions.
Touchscreen Controls
Add a touchscreen to increase the control options and feedback of your blend system. This opens up multiple possibilities for current and future additions.
User Logins
Increase efficiency and quality control with user logins. Our standard user login programming includes Supervisor, Maintenance and Operator levels, but can be customized to meet the needs of each customer.
Variable Frequency Drive
VFDs provide the ability for different blend cycle speeds and precision stopping control.
Vessel Positioning System
Whether its for loading, discharging, cleaning or interfacing with multiple processes, add multiple stop positions to your rotating blender and stop within 0.1° of each position every time. The Positioning System also enables the ability to track the exact rotation speed of the blender.
Voice Annunciation Alerts
When in a loud or active environment, getting an operators attention quickly may be necessary for safety. The Voice Annunciation Alerts can vocally tell the operator exactly what alarm is triggered and what steps must be taken.
Web Server (Text/Email, Remote Operation)
Sometimes a process is extremely important to keep a close eye on and make sure everything is running correctly. With the Web Server option, get texts and emails with alerts or notifications of the current operation. A secure connection can also be establish to remotely interact with specific features of the system.
Wireless Signal System
If more control outputs or inputs are needed from the blender, they can easily be added by using a wireless system without the need to run new wiring to the blender vessel.
