A
major temperature sensor manufacturer uses Thayer Batch
Loss In Weight Feeders to blend multiple ingredients
for the manufacture of ceramic adhesive.
Loss In Weight System eliminates costly off spec. batches
and cuts cycle time by 80%. A five ingredient cement compound,
produced in small batches of less than 50 lbs total weight
is a critical component in the assembly of heat sensors
used in analyzing molten steel.
After extensive evaluation, the customer purchased two loss In Weigh
Screw feeders and three Loss In Weight vibratory feeders all controlled
through Thayer’s EZ 3200 instrument and an Allen Bradley supervisory
recipe management system.
This upgrade of the batch system has drastically cut loses due to failed
parts, including the component costs, cement ingredient costs, production
losses, and disposal costs. The end result is a multiplied factor of
increased production with reduced waste, for a rapid projected return
on investment and a positive net effect on the company’s bottom
line. |
