1.2 The working principle of
The equipment starts the three-material fast feeding process, namely: fast, medium
and slow feeding. The switch of each speed feeding takes the corresponding advance
quantity in the formula as the control cut-off point. In order to avoid the influence of
overfeed on measurement, the corresponding prohibition discriminant time is set.After
feeding, enter the value setting process, the value setting time can be set, after the end of
the value, the equipment through the switch output "feeding complete" signal;The
equipment receives the external "unloading" effective switching signal, the equipment will
drive the cylinder to open the unloading door of the metering bucket, when the weight of the
material in the metering bucket is lower than the zero zone value set before, the equipment
drives the cylinder to close the unloading door, complete a quantitative process;Before
starting the next quantification process, the equipment carries out a pre-feeding delay, and
then the next feeding, and so on.
1.3 Main purpose and scope of application
AF-25K /AF-50K automatic quantitative unit is mainly used for quantitative packaging
of granular materials, weighing range is 25kg and 50kg, and can be used together with
vacuum shaping packaging machine.
