Contrec Australia were recently invited back to re-install an existing 515 batching system after a well-known frozen yoghurt company were bought out by another company.
The 515-BF01 with VSD flow control was installed originally back in 2015 to provide precise measurement of Gourmet Pot Set and frozen yoghurt. The 515-BF01 was the instrument specifically requested by the customer for its precision, reliability and ease of use.
A critical part of this take over deal was that the set up of the existing batching system was included.
OTHER Available Features of the batching system include:
- Internal logging of the last 1000 batches
- RS232 and RS485 ports available for access to logged data or easy collection and reporting using the Contrec 500-DataMod software.
- Communications and protocol for local label printer.
Other components used in the batching system include:
- 1” Rosemount Sanitary Mag meter
- 1” Keystone Sanitary Butterfly pneumatic valve
- 1” OMAC Sanitary Tri Lobe pump
- 3 Phase WEG VSD controller
- Rolair JC10 Ultra-Quiet Air Compressor
Paul Chaston of Contrec Australia said, “The install gave us a great opportunity to revisit the the system and see how well it was working 2 ½ years after the installation, it was great see that the customer was extremely happy with this system”
Summary
- Contrec 515-BF01 used for precise measurement of Gourmet Pot Set and Frozen Yogurt batching into 5 Ltr containers/buckets
- The 515 controls the VSD driven pump and flow rate to provide: - gentle ‘no splash’ ramp start - most efficient & practical slow flow for 5 Ltr filling of delicate products. - smooth and precise stop. - Prestop Qty and Prestop %Flow ensures a suitable ‘slow flow’ is only used for normal batch quantities. - Higher ‘Full Flow’ flowrate allows for larger CIP flush volumes to be entered and used to easily clean the batching system.
- Automatic overrun compensation engaged to ensure continued accurate filling
- Auto Reset enabled for fast and simple start of next fill
- Remote Start/Stop inputs used for robust operator (gloved) friendly buttons and remote start foot pedal
- Easy change of Preset/Batch Qty
