Filling Mode
Filling mode allows you to control the
fi
lling of
any bag, box, bulk bag or other container. The
fi
lling mode works by allowing you to enter a tar
‐
get weight. Once a target weight has been se
‐
lected, the electronics also needs to determine
when to automa cally shut o
ff
the feed device
feeding the CentriFlow Meter in order to reach
this target weight. If the feed device was sig
‐
naled exactly when the target value was
reached, the measured value would overshoot
by a certain amount due to a variety of factors
including the me that it takes the feed device to
receive the signal and shut o
ff
, as well as the
physical loca on of the feeder in respect to the meter. Once the feeder has been signaled to
shut o
ff
, a certain amount of product will have already passed through the feed device but
would not have been weighed or counted by the
fl
ow meter yet. The total value of this weight
overshoot is called the Weight Correc on. By determining the Weight Correc on value as well
as the target value, a precise shut o
ff
me for precise and accurate
fi
lling can be determined.
