An Automatic Batching Machine for Rubber Materials typically consists of the following components:
- Storage System: Comprises hoppers of different sizes for storing various rubber materials such as carbon black, fillers, and rubber compounds. The hoppers are usually made of stainless steel to prevent material contamination and ensure good material flow. They are equipped with level sensors to monitor material levels and prevent overfilling or running out of materials.
- Feeding System: Utilizes screw conveyors, vibrating feeders or pneumatic conveying systems to transport materials from the storage hoppers to the weighing units. Screw conveyors are often used for powders and granular materials, offering precise and stable feeding. Vibrating feeders are suitable for materials that are prone to bridging or clogging, ensuring a continuous and uniform feed. Pneumatic conveying systems are employed for lightweight and fine powders, enabling efficient long-distance transport.
- Weighing System: Equipped with high-precision load cells and weighing sensors to accurately measure the weight of each material. The weighing accuracy can reach ±1g - ±5g, depending on the requirements. The system can be calibrated regularly to ensure measurement accuracy. It also features an automatic tare function to eliminate the influence of container weight.
- Control System: Usually based on a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or a microcomputer control system. The operator can input batching formulas and parameters through a touch screen interface. The control system can also record production data, such as batching records and material consumption, for production management and quality traceability. It has an alarm function to notify operators of abnormal situations such as material shortages, weighing errors, and equipment malfunctions.
During operation, the Automatic Batching Machine for Rubber Materials first receives the batching instructions from the control system. Then, the feeding system transports the materials from the storage hoppers to the weighing units. The weighing system accurately measures the weight of each material and stops the feeding when the set weight is reached. After weighing all the required materials, they are discharged into a mixing device for further processing.
This kind of machine is widely used in various rubber product manufacturing industries, including tire production, conveyor belt manufacturing, rubber hose production, and rubber seal manufacturing. It can meet the batching needs of different production scales and product requirements, improving production efficiency and product quality while reducing labor costs and material waste.
