The expansion of an ingredients weighing system has required the re-configuration and expansion of the original control system. Berwin Polymer Processing Group wanted to double the number of feeder stations from 20 to 40, which required an expansion of its 'Smart Cart' minor ingredients weighing system. A start/finish station is also being added to the facility, where bags will be formed prior to filling and subsequently sealed and dispatched. The system was originally developed to overcome the constraint of conventional minor ingredients systems, which are typically labour intensive and prone to error. The weighing system consists of static feeders arranged around a monorail track circuit. Intelligent mobile weigh carriages, or Smart Carts, travel around this.
