Material Handling , Central Material Feed System A central material feed system allows polymer to be automatically distributed to your processing machines, sometimes long distances, through a series of solid pipes using a centrally positioned vacuum pump. Vacuum receivers (hopper loaders) on all machines are linked via a "Matrix" central control system that enables any machine to process any material from various locations. Material, which can be in bulk silos or day bins, is generally sited away from the production area. Drying, blending and scrap reclaim can also be integrated in to a central feed ■ Multiple hopper loaders connected to a common vacuum pump linked via a common control ■ Automatic line purging to ensure no pipe blockages or cross contamination of materials ■ Easy material selection via distribution manifold and quick release couplings ■ Central filtration unit for all hopper loaders ■ Material drying and blending can also be centrally positioned and integrated in to central distribution ■ High visibility remote display panel available for easy monitoring and control ■ Eliminates manual shifting of polymer between storage and manufacturing area ■ Removes pallets and bags of material from the shop floor & enables the use of silo/bulk storage if ■ Reduces the need for fork lift and pallet truck use in ■ Reduces dust levels in the production environment ■ Eliminates manual lifting of material bags by machine operators ■ Eliminates material spillage and waste. ■ Power saving - One central vacuum unit replaces multiple vacuum motors ■ When integrated with a central dryer eliminates waitingtimefordried material Summit Systems Vanguard, Tame Park, Tamworth, Summit Systems Ltd.

Central Material Feed System Matrix diagram Lilian thinks that she has this elsewhere as our version does not have summit logos on the equipment. I will also look for this tomorrow - through CD archive i am told to use this FIND IT Matrix System Control All material conveying equipment is networked via a single cable from a central server - An extremely flexible system which is easy to install and manage. A portable hand held controller allows set up and adjustment at either the server or any of the other connection ports within the system including loaders and pumps. Matrix systems can be...
