Loss-in-weight feeder Govoni Sim Bianca Impianti S p A GSBI

Loss in weight feeders are used for the gravimetric dosage of bulk solids (powders, pellets, flakes,..) or liquids, with flow rate range between 1 and 30.000 kg/h allowing to reach high accuracy.
These feeders are applied for continuous blending or for feeding extruders or other process machinery.
Dosing equipment mainly consist of:
- Buffer hopper (that could be provided with antibridge swift) made of stainless steel
- Dosing device (screw conveyor, vibrating chute, gear pump) with continuously adjustable speed.
- Scale with load cells and signal amplifier
- Control system (PLC) that could drive until 15 feeders simultaneously.
GSBI developed a control system that allow the feeders control by means of PLC available in the market (Allen Bradley) avoiding the requirement of dedicated electronic cards or microprocessors, granting the following advantages:
- Reliability, performance and spare parts are the same of the used commercial PLC.
- It is possible to include the management of loss in weight feeders in the PLC that control the raw material storage and conveying plant.
- Simple communication with supervision systems by means of most common standards.
Operator interface is a PC that allows a clear and friendly monitoring of the plant and a very simple process data management.
Also available in compliance with ATEX Directives - Category 3D.
