Accuracy

Batch controllers have become an industry standard in process installations.  The days of measuring by hand into a bucket which was balanced on a weigh scale has, thankfully almost gone.  Modern manufacturing processes require consistent product and recipe’s which remove the potential errors and safety aspects which we used to see.  Modern batch controllers will deliver product into a vessel by controlling a valve and/or pump to start and stop the flow.  They can slowly allow the flow to start and smoothly stop it at the end which reduces wear on pumps/flowmeters and shock to pipework.  In addition they will automatically compensate for any overrun in the system, produce an alarm if flow fails for any reason will even log previous batches so that you can verify your production.

Performance

Some companies run SCADA supervisory systems for batch control, with all signals being taken back to centralised control rooms and handled from there.  Contrec batch controllers are an ideal compliment to these systems as they offer redundancy whilst still connecting to the SCADA , so should the main system fail, the process can continue locally using the Contrec batch controller and then re-engage the SCADA when it comes back online.

Contrec batch controllers feature large operator displays and keypads, are available in several different mounting options including stainless steel hygienic and explosion proof housings.
