This 2010 system consists of 20 removable 28-cubic-foot ingredient dispensers, 20 screw feeders with helix screws, one powered infeed roller conveyor, five scaling roller conveyors, one powered outfeed conveyor with a checkweigh station, and one PLC controller that controls the entire systems operation.
A custom-engineered structural steel frame with a top-access walkway supports the systems components and allows operators easy access to the dispensers for refilling them. It also creates two 10-dispenser parallel rows with about 50 inches of space between them. The powered infeed and outfeed conveyors along with the five scaling conveyors form a straight line between the two dispenser rows. This results in five batching zones that receive product from the four adjacent ingredient dispensers (two from each row). The conveyor moves the batch barrels along the line, stopping at each batching zones weigh station to collect material from the appropriate ingredient dispensers in each batching zone. The systems PLC controller has a flat touchscreen that allows an operator to easily call up the various recipes, monitor the systems components and operation, and manage inventory.
