Batching systems can also include blending/mixing operations, and other process equipment and controls. Dpstar experts provide highly accurate weighing solutions with maximum flexibility for a variety of recipes, supported by a fully automated weighing and batching system which is equipped with an integrated PLC/SCADA control system for daily data collection purposes. Our systems are highly engineered and rugged, with reliable and precise count accuracy, while at the same time providing maximum operational flexibility. Dpstar has built hundreds of customized blending and batching systems across many different industries. Each application is slightly different. The experts at Dpstar work with you to understand your requirements and tailor the solution to meet your particular needs. Be it a new automatic batching system requirement or automating the existing manual batching system. We fulfill both the requirements. With our in-depth knowledge and constant technology upgrades, we ensure that our customers get the best returns on their investments.

The customer needed to update the existing aged batching system. The new system would need to add more capability and automate the handling of bulk dry and liquid materials, scales, and manually weighed materials. Overcoming the old batching system interlock of not being able to process different formulas at the same time was another challenge. The limitation of the old system resulted in substantial lost production time. The company determined that Dpstar Systems & Controls customized automation capabilities were the perfect fit to satisfy their demands.

Dpstar solved the customer batching and mixing controls problems and met their challenge by designing the new control system to upgrade the current batching system to a more accurate system using load cells installed at material hoppers instead of a mixing tank. A Beijer iX SCADA Software is installed & communicates with the production floor. The SCADA allows the Production manager to key in formulas & production batches before every shift. The system production output is also viewable from the head office located in Sabah. The new Weighing System is responsible for the automatic and semiautomatic weighing of raw material ingredients used to produce the customer’s finished products. The Control system tracks the raw material data and ensures that each weighed is accurately scaled. Due to the control systems’ data tracking and management capabilities, the end-user is able to maintain inventory and usage of each raw material and validate that the correct materials are used in each batch process. Records are created and maintained by the control system including batch summaries, cycle time, production, raw materials, finished product, lot data, actual weights, and batch operator information. Our systems increase productivity, reduce employee exposure and ensure consistency.
