Continuous Mixing

•

Readco Kurimoto is the manufacturer of the continuous blender shown in the following process. The twin shaft, co-rotating mixer is designed to mix one or more dry materials with one or more liquid materials on a continuous basis, producing a homogeneous product at the discharge end of the unit. We can supply an integrated system including refill pneumatics, powder-liquid metering, continuous processor, and all automated recipe & data-logging functions.

The blending control system is designed to integrate all discrete components onto the PLC chassis for more reliable operation. Moving all the heating, cooling and feeding control operation onto the touchscreen allows the installation of redundant monitors to operate the blending line from multiple locations (at the mixer, at the feeder mezzanine, from the operator control room and/or remotely via Modem or VPN connection).

The Melfi Feed© gravimetric feeder control system is seamlessly integrated into the mixer PLC with no proprietary microprocessor controls to communicate with or maintain. We can directly replace the proprietary feeder control equipment supplied by AccuRate, Acrison, Arbo, Brabender, K-Tron, Thayer and others.
