Schenck Process Disocont Tersus continuous feeder control

Schenck Process has added intuitive touch-screen operation, intelligent interfaces and optimised modularity to its Disocont Tersus measurement, control and regulation for device continuous feeding.

The modular structure features several optional add-ons. Users can combine the units they require to produce an optimised and cost-effective solution for their particular application. The software has been enhanced to automate additional functions. The modular system adapts to applications of any complexity and for ease of use the controls for standard applications have been reduced to the bare essentials.

The Disocont Tersus system is already available for loss-in-weight feeders and screw weighfeeders. Special units will soon follow for weighfeeders, mass flow metering and feeding units, solid flow meters and feeders, conveyor belt scales and hopper scales.

The electronic unit can be integrated in an existing scales mechanism to form a compact functional unit.

The intelligent optimisation of the interfaces substantially reduces the engineering workload. Only one unit needs to be planned, there is no need for a switch cabinet and the amount of wiring required is minimal. All the engineer has to do is lay the power supply and data cables.

The system comes with plug-in fieldbus communication modules that enable it to share data with the control system. A PC or notebook can be connected to the system for service purposes and LAN, WLAN and Bluetooth connections are also available as standard.
