Sihyde developed a customized floor-based automated batching system for shaped refractory material production, helping manufacturers solve key challenges including inconsistent batching accuracy, complex recipe management, limited factory space, and high dependence on manual operation.
Designed for high-volume refractory manufacturing, the system integrates precision weighing, flexible formula control, intelligent automation, and optimized material handling to improve production efficiency, product consistency, and long-term operational reliability.
1. High-Precision Batching System for Consistent Product Quality
The automated batching system achieves batching accuracy of up to ±0.5%, significantly improving material consistency and finished product quality.
The system adopts a multi-stage feeding design, combining coarse feeding and fine feeding technologies.
Large-volume feeding is completed through high-capacity valves and electromagnetic vibrators, while low-speed precision feeders perform fine adjustment to ensure accurate material addition.
Integrated high-precision weighing modules and automatic speed control eliminate manual operation errors, ensuring repeatable batching results for every production cycle.
2. Flexible Recipe Management for Multi-Variety Production
The system is designed to support diverse production requirements with flexible formula switching capabilities.
Multiple independent storage bins are integrated with a PLC-based recipe management system, allowing operators to quickly select different formulations through the control interface.
The one-touch recipe switching function eliminates manual equipment adjustment and reduces production downtime, making the system suitable for multi-product and small-batch refractory production.
3. Space-Efficient Layout Improving Factory Utilization
The floor-based automated batching system is designed to optimize factory space utilization and improve production efficiency.
Through a two-level equipment layout, upper-level material storage utilizes gravity feeding while lower-level areas are used for automated processing and receiving.
This compact design improves material flow efficiency, reduces manual material handling, and creates a clearer separation between operators and production processes.
The system helps manufacturers reduce labor requirements while maximizing available production space.
4. Intelligent Control System with Full Production Traceability
The system integrates centralized PLC control and industrial touchscreen HMI operation to achieve complete automation management.
Operators can select production recipes through a user-friendly interface, while the system automatically controls material feeding, weighing, and batching processes.
Production data including material weights, batch information, timestamps, and operating records can be automatically stored and exported, supporting quality management and production traceability.
5. Energy-Efficient Design with Future Expansion Capability
The system adopts an optimized material flow design to reduce energy consumption and improve long-term operating efficiency.
By utilizing gravity-assisted material transfer, the system reduces unnecessary power consumption during material handling.
The modular PLC control architecture also provides expansion interfaces, allowing future production capacity increases and process upgrades without replacing the complete system.
