In the modern production of Jiangsu refractory enterprises, an automated precast parts batching system developed by SIHYDE Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. has become a key driver for industry advancement due to its high efficiency, stability, and intelligence. Specifically designed for sliding nozzle-related products, this system provides robust assurance for production efficiency and quality control through full-process automation management.
Precision Core: Efficient Mixing Ratios and Error Control
The system employs a screw conveyor + multi-position sector valve as its core feeding device. Combined with variable frequency control technology, it achieves dual-stage feeding for coarse and fine additions of powdered materials, small particles, and flake-shaped materials. Real-time data is collected via multiple Toledo pressure sensors, with the weighing process dynamically displayed on the HMI interface. This strictly controls errors within ±0.5%, ensuring precise raw material ratios for every batch.
Innovative Design: Dual Breakthroughs in Anti-Blocking and Environmental Protection
To address bridging and blockages caused by poor powder flowability, the system employs a layered anti-blocking strategy: Powder silos integrate flow-aiding air discs and vibration motors, while aggregate silos feature high-intensity vibration devices. Protective plates shield level sensors, eliminating material surge risks. Additionally, the 10-bin and 12-bin systems feature independent cartridge dust collectors and centralized dust extraction units respectively. Adjustable suction hoods and pulse-jet reverse-blow functions achieve “zero dust leakage,” significantly improving workshop air quality.
Intelligent Management: Recipe Retrieval and Safety Coordination
The system's intelligent control hub, built with Siemens PLC and a 12-inch touchscreen, supports rapid retrieval, modification, and storage of over 40 recipes. An external printer generates packaging labels containing QR codes, batch numbers, and other information. Tiered permission management safeguards core parameters. Faults trigger audible and visual alarms with event logging, requiring manual reset before resuming operation. Additionally, hard-wired interlocking with the mixer enables safe coordination between upstream and downstream processes, preventing overflow accidents.
Cost Reduction & Efficiency: Long-Term Value from Automation
The system's “one-click selection - automatic batching” function frees operators from complex ratio calculations, significantly reducing human error risks. Its efficient operation not only minimizes material waste but also enhances overall production cycle times through seamless integration with molding processes. Technical Lead Engineer Geng noted: “Since implementation, the system has boosted single-line production capacity by approximately [specific percentage], while reducing comprehensive costs, laying a foundation for long-term competitiveness.”
Guided by the core principles of “Precision, Intelligence, Environmental Sustainability, and Efficiency,” SIHYDE Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. continues to deliver customized solutions for the refractory materials industry. The successful deployment of this precast automatic batching system reaffirms the company's deep expertise and innovative capabilities in industrial automation.
