An accurate, reliable weighing system that measures
ingredients and transfers them into the batch is a critical part of the process.
This process can be automated, manual, or a blend of both.
Realistically, automated transfer and batch control can
be managed at the weigh terminal instead of a fullscale PLC or DCS control system.
The right weigh terminal/system can also guide manual batching.
A
stand-alone batch control system may be of particular
benefit in smaller-scale operations because it eliminates the processi
