INVT Solution for Blender Machines

Abstract: Blender machine is used to process the pickle & hot water with vinegar. It has some mixing ratio limitations as per the rules. Based on the limitation need to send the vinegar and hot water in to the tank. This paper mainly introduced INVT PLC HMI and VFD solution for this machince.

I. Introduction

MACHINE PROCEDURE:-

A. Hot water and Vinegar storage: The bulk quantity of hot waters and vinegar will be stored in the storage tanks.

B. Select and input required data’s: Customer can choose the required blender tank (any one of the blender tank out of 3 tanks). And also can feed the required quantity of vinegar in litters.

C. Feeding the vinegar: When start the cycle, first the corresponding blender tank solenoid valve will open and other blender tank valves will be closed automatically. Based on the blender tank selection. For this Open and close condition feedback can get from the valve open and close sensors for each valves.

After opening the valve, pump motor will turn ON to feed the Vinegar and water. The amount of feeding is calculated with flow meter feedback to the PLC. 

D. Cut-off and next operation: Once the flow meter feedback is reached it to the set value, then the Pump will turn OFF and the corresponding valve will also close. Then machine will ready for next cycle.
