The customer's request is to transfer various materials - stored in big-bags or sacks - to mixers. Each material has to be weighed before being fed into the mixer.
The customer's 3 main criteria, to be taken into account in this project:
- Explosive environment
- Aggressive products
- Marine environment
TIM has therefore adapted its equipment to the extreme conditions required.
The transfer
- Unscramblers equipped with unscrambling blades adapted to different products
- Dust extraction hood
- 316L stainless steel components with special anti-corrosion coating
- Use of special motors and level switches adapted to the environment
- Centralized dedusting unit
- Flexible mechanical feeders with multi-stream coils (10 to 15m transfer length)
Weighing
- Weighing hoppers with 60° slope, equipped with full-flow drain valves
- Inner lining facilitates product flow during emptying
Electrical box
- Explosion-proof power cabinets
- Explosion-proof weighing indicators are divided into two parts
- The electronic part of each indicator is installed in an explosion-proof enclosure.
- The control section of the indicator is intrinsically isolated so that the keypad can be used to operate the indicator.
- Connection between customer's servers and weighing indicators to retrieve production data
- All wiring is carried out according to customer specifications.
