Melfi Feed© Gravimetric Feeder Controllers

Looking for a user-friendly, accurate and easy to maintain feeder controller?

Melfi Feed© is the best in class PAC/PLC-based Weigh belt, Loss-in-Weight and Flowmeter automated feeder controller. The Rockwell based system is designed to directly replace the proprietary microprocessor equipment supplied by any of the popular LIW feeder manufacturers.

The Melfi Feed© PAC/PLC controller has been developed around the Rockwell ControlLogix and CompactLogix hardware platforms using standard RSLogix5000 programming software with Rockwell Automation FTview HMI. Field communications to the load cell amplifier are open standard Ethernet/IP components. We have created a cost effective solution using non-proprietary hardware to simplify the gravimetric feed control process.
