Still Worrying About Your Weight? Batch Weighing Made Simple Kecol has introduced a batch weighing system to its range of viscous pumping equipment. The system allows an operator to enter the required weight of a batch of material, press the start, and the pump will automatically stop when the target weight is reached. Over 20 pre-set weights can be stored within the controller ready to be recalled at the push of a button. The batch weighing system can be linked to any Kecol pump or priming system and it’s Kecol, so it will handle viscous materials. The system can also be used with other air operated pumps such as diaphragm pumps. The system is suitable for weights up to 200Kgs. with bench mounted or floor mounted weighing platforms. The filling operation is performed in two stages, a course fill followed by a fine fill. This allows the receiving vessel to be filled at maximum flow for 95% of the capacity with the pump automatically slowing down for the final 5% to increase accuracy. The system is available as a self-contained unit including a stainless-steel bench (as the photo) or can be supplied to mount to an existing bench.
