Mixer Control Packages

Techni-Mix Advanced Controls For Intensive Mixers

For Use with Any Mixer Brand or Size
Modern, Friendly Operator Control Station
Data Storage at Mixer or through Network
Integration of All Mixing Components

The Techni-Mix Mixer Control System is designed to operate any intensive mixer used for rubber or silicone compounding. The system provides an advanced means of developing, analyzing and storing compound mixing procedures. It provides for documentation of the various process parameters for each mixing sequence, documentation of changes made to the mixing procedure by the operator, and production history and analysis. Packages are available for both Tilt and drop door style mixers as well as for incorporating upstream ingredient weigh stations or downstream mill and take-away processes.

System Components:

1) Main Control Panel or Console

2) Machine Control Package with PLC Machine interfaces for:

Mixer Drive
Ram (floating weight)
Temperature control
Auxiliary systems:
Hydraulic, Pneumatic,
Lubrication,
Process Oil, Dust Collection
Other Interfacing is optional (e.g. ingredients weighment)

3) Operator Interface/ MMI

Industrial PC, flat panel color touch screen, slant mounted
Graphic displays showing Recipes, Machine Status, Faults, Calibrations, etc.
Data storage can be at panel or through network

4) Batch Cycle Programming

Programming of variables in 10 standard steps. Variables include:
Rotor Speed RPM
Ram pressure
Batch Temperature
Energy Utilization
Batch identification data
Other steps are easily added as options; e.g. Ingredient adder, bump ram
Recipe storage is almost unlimited
Tiling Assembly for Quick, Easy Access, Cleanout
Chamber on Stress-relieved fabricated pedestals
One-piece Assembly on Roller Bearings
Tilt up to 130 deg., with Gearhead Motor and Brake

5) Pushbuttons, for safeties, manual operation, etc.

6) Data Acquisition/ Analysis
