Configuring Pre-blending allows for a dry tower to automate coating operations on specified products, separate from the rest of an order.
Applies to
- Dry systems needing to pre-blend products to apply a coating automatically using Plant Supervisor PSX
Usage
Pre-blending allows specifying a pair of products and setting a pre-blend mix time for the pair. When the pair of products is found together in an order, they will be loaded to a mixer first, the pre-blend mix cycle will run, and then the remaining products, if any, will be added and mixed.
- From the configuration tab of Plant Supervisor PSX, click the “Pre-blending” settings tab.
- Select the first product from the “Product” dropdown.
- Select the second product from the “Pre-blends with” dropdown.
Note: When using Pre-blending each blend can only start with a product 1 time, but the same product can be used in other Pre-blends if it is set in the Pre Blends with column.
- Set the mix time by setting how many seconds to run per unit of measure (lbs., ton).
- Set a minimum and maximum mix time.
TIP: Setting the mix time per unit of measure to zero will result in the minimum mix time always being used.
- Click the Close button to save changes and return to the main window of Plant Supervisor PSX.
