Full Explanation of Regrind Control Parameters
PRN Percent of Regrind to be Treated as Natural
Allows for adding some ADDITIVE to one of the REGRIND portions. PRN can also be
used to subtract a portion of ADDITIVE to reduce the overall total of ADDITIVE (typically
used to compensate for over-colored regrind).
PRN indicates the PERCENT of one REGRIND that will be treated as NATURAL when
additive dispenses are calculated. If you feel it is necessary to add (or subtract) color or
additive to a regrind, this parameter will automatically see that this is accomplished.
1st digit: 0 = adds, 1 = subtracts ... additive to or from the regrind.
2nd digit: Regrind component.
The second digit is the REGRIND component number
you will be making this adjustment for. The last 3 digits indicate the percent of this Regrind
component to add to, or subtract from, the Naturals when computing Additive dispenses.
EXAMPLE: PRN set to 01020.
The first 0 means add. The 1 is component 1.
The 20 means take 20 % of component 1 (a Regrind) and ADJUST the total of all
NATURAL dispenses upward by this amount. Whatever amount of component 1 regrind is
added to the weigh bin, 20 percent of this amount will be added before a color calculation
is made. Regrind dispense = 600 grams, Natural portions = 1400 grams.
At 4 percent, if PRN=0xxxx, Color would be 56 grams.
If PRN=01020; increase Natural by 20 % of 600, (120 grams).
Color is now 4 % of 1520 grams (1400+120), or 61 grams.
In some cases, the addition of pre-colored regrind tends to produce overall better coloring
because of an initial more uniform dispersion of pigment. In this case you may want to add
LESS color to the Natural portions when Regrind is present. Placing a 1 in the first digit of
the PRN parameter (PRN 1xxxx), will cause a portion of this Regrind component to be
SUBTRACTED from the Natural portions, instead of added.
EXAMPLE: PRN set to (PRN 11020).
The first 1 means subtract. The second 1 selects component 1.
This means take 20 % of component 1, a Regrind, and reduce the NATURAL portions by
this amount. Whatever amount of component 1 is added, 20 percent of this amount will be
subtracted from the Natural amounts before a color calculation is made.
Component 1 dispense = 600 grams, Natural portions = 1400 grams.
At 4 percent, if PRN=00000, Color would be 56 grams.
If PRN=11020; reduce Naturals by 20 % of 600, (120 grams).
Color is now 4 % of 1280 grams (1400-120), or 51 grams.
RLC RLC and RHL parameters work together. Their combined purpose is to allow the
adjustment of one Regrind component up or down based on input from one or two lever
sensors.
LEVEL SENSORS are required for this parameter to work.
Both RLC and RHL must be set for these parameters to have any effect.
The first digit of the RLC parameter indicates which component is controlled by the
adjustment routine. Only components 1 through 9 may be controlled.
