Normal Operating Sequence - Each Cycle
As the sensor is uncovered, the cycle begins. The target weight of a complete batch is 18000, 9000, 4000, 2000,
1000, or 400 grams.
REGRIND, if requested, will dispense first. After the Regrind dispense the space remaining in the weigh bin is
calculated.
NATURAL will dispense second. This dispense is calculated to fill the bin leaving just enough space for the Color and
Additive dispenses. After the Natural dispense is complete the exact weight of this dispense is calculated and, based
on this actual dispense weight, the Color and Additive dispenses are now calculated.
COLOR and ADDITIVE are now dispensed one at a time as requested. These dispenses are a percentage of the
Natural component only.
If the Natural, Color, or Additive components fail to reach the requested weight, the process does NOT CONTINUE.
The ALARM Strobe light flashes and the system holds until the problem is remedied.
As each component is being dispensed and weighed, the corresponding component is displayed:
DISPENSING: REG (1), NAT (2), COL (3), or ADD (4) . The total updated bin weight is displayed about 3 seconds
AFTER each dispense.
Each dispense weight is checked and recorded. Rate recalibration takes place every cycle to ensure continuous
process accuracy. The total batch is dropped into the mixing chamber and blended before entering the throat of the
process machine.
