In building materials and coatings production, although the amount of additives is small, but it affects the product performance. Weighing accuracy and formula stability directly affect the final product. Recently, Mconvey provided an automatic additive dosing system for a building materials maunfacturer ,project including multi-component powder formula weigher and powder debagging station, to help customer can achieve automated transformation from manual to automatic.
Automatic additive dosing system Project info
The customer’s additive formula involves a variety of powders and additives. Previously, manual weighing was used for a long time, which not only had high labor intensity, but also had problems such as weighing deviation and low dosing efficiency. It was urgent to achieve accurate material dosing and automatic conveying to meet the production line’s requirements for raw material stability.
Project challenge
- The properties of each component material are different, and the equipment adaptability needs to be analyzed one by one to confirm.
- The on-site space very limited, new equipment needs to be arranged compactly.
- The weighing require high accuracy before mixing, which poses a challenge to the system stability and control response.
Solution
Based on customer needs and material characteristics, Mconvey customized the following solutions for them:
Powder debagging station
To be used with manual debagging, it is equipped with a closed operating structure and dust removal interface to ensure a safe and clean debagging process.
8-component powder formula weigher
Adopts gain-in-weight + loss-in-weight dosing with high production capacity and high accuracy. Equipped with precision valves and patented mixing structure, it can adapt to the characteristics of various powder materials and ensure stable and smooth material dosing. After weighing, the materials are uniformly transported to the mixer, effectively reducing the transfer links, errors and waste. The system supports multi-formula switching, data traceability and abnormal reminders, further improving the convenience of operation and production management efficiency.
Although additives are small, but cannot be ignored. The design of each system is based on the customer processes and accurate analysis of materials. Mconvey will continue to focus on providing practical material handling system solutions for different industries, making production more efficient and products more stable.
