Often manufacturers have a need to dispense as many as hundreds of (infrequently used) powders and liquids, but this low usage may never justify a full-size dispenser. The Colorweigh Powder Dispenser consists of a moving bed onto which 6 canisters can be latched: these canisters can either be for liquids or powders. Before starting a batch the operator loads the appropriate canisters - as these are identified by unique codes, the system will perform a check thus eliminating human error.
The state of the art control system of the Colorweigh Powder Dispenser enables it to dispense extremely accurate and therefore direct “in can” dispensing is feasible. The servo motor controlled auger completes the dispense with 8 different speeds while a cut off valve avoids humidification of the powders and provides a clear cut during the dispense process. The independently driven bridge breaker unit assures that all types of powders are fluidised.
The dispenser is controlled by Rexson Impress, which controls the dispense process and stores all formulation and process data. If required, the system can be linked to various spectrophotometers, colour matching software and MRP systems.
The implementation of a Rexson Colorweigh dispense system delivers increases in efficiencies and productivity for both the ink supplier and ink user alike. Payback on capital expenditure can be measured in months. |
