BULKDENSITY
Bulk Density
If the variable <VOL RATE>, in the <SERVICE VARIABLE INDEX>,
is set any value other than <0>, this variable will be displayed.
As the feeder runs in gravimetric control, the Bulk Density value will
be updated by the calculation: BD = FF/VOL RATE
Note:
To use this variable, do the following:
1. Enter the bulk density (BD) of the material being fed.
2. Perform an Auto Feedfactor calibration. The result is the value
<VOL RATE>, calculated as the ratio of Feedfactor (FF) /
Entered Bulk Density. The value <VOL RATE> is found in the
Service Variable Index.
When the feeder runs in gravimetric control, the <BULKDENSITY>
parameter will reflect the current material bulk density.
EMPTY FDR
Empty feeder function. When started, the feeder runs at a drive
command of 70%. The feeder stops automatically if no weight loss is
detected.
Note:
<Empty Drive Cmd> may be changed by the Service Variables.

This command will start the feeder. Make sure that nobody is
working on the machine.
For KSU-II/KCM select EMPTY FDR, then press

Notes:
• The <EMPTY FDR> action can be halted with the
STOP
key.
• The Net Weight Low alarm is also generated when the Empty Fdr
cycle finishes.
