LCF
How it Works
- 1. In this particular application, specific ratios of each liquid must be dispensed into mixing container prior to its release into each jar.
- 2. The selection of load cells can vary from pancake type to donut/thru hole or load button depending on the preferred mounting configuration and required precision. Equally important is the selection of electronics to build this platform.
- 3. To ensure that these liquids ratios are exact, several load cells have been installed at the base of each liquid dispensing silo.
- 4. Each silo has been paired with either FUTEK’s IHH500 Intelligent Digital Hand Held Display or IPM650 Panel Mount Display. These instruments will monitor the measurements captured by the load cells.
- 5. In such setups, electronic options such as output options (analog vs. voltage), alarms/relays, and high resolution measurement can ease installation and improve system readings.
- 6. Once a specific ratio of liquid has been released from each silo, the IHH500 or IPM650 will trigger the control valve to close.
- 7. Then the contents in the mixing container can be released into the jar below.
