Microprocessor-Based System for Belt-Scales Dosing of Mixed Feed Components

Abstract

Dosing in weighing and mixing has found an extensive use in a number of industrial processes including the processes of preparing grain mixtures in the mixed feed industry /I/. Continuous flow production processes, which ensure a significant growth of the technical-and-economic indices, have brought about the following complement of processing equipment for mixed feed components in a continuous dosing and mixing section(DMS):

• Dosing belt scales (DBS) based on strain-gauge weighing (Fig.I);

• Continuous (flow) mixer providing for the uniformity of the grain mixture at the outlet of the DMS;

• Weight verifying device (WVD) based on strain-gauge weighing principle;

• Dosing automatic control system (DACS).
