Gravimetric Precision for Material Loading Optional 4-inch HMI for use with TrueRate. Now the precision gravimetric gain-in-weight accuracy and reliability used for decades in Conair's TrueBlend blenders can be used in conveying and loading systems. Conair's TrueRateTM is a sensing device that applies today's weighing technology to the process of loading material into a hopper, surge bin, or material storage container. The TrueRate can be used for multiple purposes that will add current technology and eliminate the guesswork from material loading. The TrueRate gives you the ability to: • • • • Calculate and display the weight for each load cycle Tabulate the running throughput in lbs/hr {Kg/hr} Display the total lbs/hr {Kg/hr} usage by time period Convey/dose an exact amount of resin to a destination bin TrueRate 8 (shown with receiver above and hopper below.) Accurate, Honest Material Usage Data - Current and Historic How does it work? The TrueRateTM is an intelligent weigh scale to be used with a material loader/receiver. Sandwiched between a loader or receiver and a material vessel below (could be a hopper, bin, or other material storage container) the TrueRate uses digital feedback from the loader/receiver, and analog feedback from a load cell to precisely determine when a fill sequence begins and ends. Using the gravimetric weight scale, the TrueRate calculates the weight of the loader/receiver before and after the fill occurs. Calculating the time between fill cycles, an extremely accurate rate and volume of the material passing through the loader/receiver is determined and displayed by the control logic of the TrueRate. The TrueRate can be ordered with an optional 4.3-inch color touch screen. The touch screen interface allows for locally monitoring, controlling, and configuring the system. In the absence of the operator panel, it is possible to connect using a number of remote protocols like: Modbus, Ethernet IP, or OPC-UA. VNC client applications are also possible. ` Weight and throughput rate accuracy to 1% The tried and true gravimetric system that has provided this level of accuracy in blenders is now capable of the same levels of accuracy in your loading system. Without any sensing system, you're practically clueless to the true material use and rate of your loading system. A totalizer system offers some comfort of a measurement, but not great accuracy. The TrueRate offers complete confidence that you know exactly how much material you're using where, and at what rate. ` Intuitive control with live data The optional 4.3-inch touch screen gives instant readings of data. No "few-minute" lag time issues here. ` Save energy When you know your throughput rate exactly, and the precise amount of resin in a hopper, you can save energy by adjusting your drying parameters accordingly. Working smarter, not harder. ` 500 resin and product codes for accurate inventory and resin use Resin codes are used to identify the resin processed by the TrueRate. There can be up to 500 different resin codes entered, with a solid density and a bulk density. The TrueRate will keep inventory totals for each resin code defined.

Specifications - With Optional Dosing Valve TrueRate 8 with dosing valve Side View 1/2" B.C. BOTTOM NTING THROUGH E How it Works: The optional dosing valve is designed to be used with the TrueRate to allow for measuring and dosing specific amounts of material into a bin/vessel below the TrueRate. Adding this valve is perfect for any application where a very precise amount of material is desired for processing, eliminating material starving or flooding. The TrueRate senses the amount of material accumulating in the vessel and uses a pneumatic cylinder to close the valve when the desired...
