mo's CORNER: Part 6: How do asynchronous dosing systems work?

摘要

Volumetric dosing systems can be operated asynchronously or synchronously. For each method, you can choose between metering all components or metering all components except the main one. For asynchronous dosing where all the components are metered, all materials for a recipe are fed to a mixer from their respective dosing modules. The control system for the dosing unit is not integrated with the control system of the downstream equipment. A probe in the mixer starts and stops the dosing cycle when it detects material. The dosing system runs until the probe is covered again and the final dosing cycle is completely finished.
