March 19, 2019 - Sterling Systems & Controls announced the availability of its Affordable Batching Controller. Sterling is a manufacturer of custom engineered and manufactured micro, minor and bulk weighing and ingredient batching systems, process controls and plant automation.
The Affordable Batching Controller is a semi-automatic batching system that still requires operator involvement through each step in the batching process, but provides automated operator instructions/prompting, ingredient validation and lot tracking, automatic weighing with over/under tolerance control, etc. This Affordable Batching Controller will eliminate bad batches that result from operator error and interruption.
The Affordable Batching Controller’s PC and Touchscreen Display will ask the operator to weigh ingredients. The Sterling Systems & Controls' Affordable Batching Controller sequences an operator through a formula one ingredient at time. The primary advantage of the system is to ensure that each ingredient is added to the container, is within a programmed weight tolerance, and from the correct ingredient lot before the controller will index to the next ingredient to be added. This will ensure the validity of all batches created by the operator.
