Continuous Processors Automatically Adjust to Changes in Temperature, Humidity

Continuous Processors from  Readco Kurimoto can now be equipped to automatically adjust their process parameters to maintain consistent product quality despite changes in ambient air temperature, pressure, and humidity, and/or in raw material properties.

Offered as an option, the Continuous Processors monitor the process 24/7 using temperature sensors, moisture analyzers, viscometers, and other instrumentation as appropriate. The residence time, temperature, ingredient addition rates and ratios, and/or other parameters are adjusted automatically in real-time with closed loop controls based on pre-programmed trigger points and applied in seconds without interrupting the process or producing off-spec product.

The Continuous Processors accommodate geographic variations in weather, altitude, materials and other inputs to ensure the products manufactured on different processing lines match the same target specifications. The units mix, blend, react, compound, crystallize and/or perform other processes with multiple liquid, dry and viscous materials in a single step.
