FC3
FLOW CONTROLLER FC3
Applied products:
All free flowing products can be measured, e.g. grain, pulses, granules, malt, pellets, soya and diverse bruised grains.
Continuous, gravimetric dosage of free flowing bulk solids:
- Electrically controlled flat slider with weighing sensor
- Exact regulation of flow capacity in kg/h
- Summation of total amount in kg
- Very low installation height, easy installation directly below the silo
- Control of slider position and position presetting
Function:
An electrically controlled flat slider is located in a steel housing. Under the flat slider there is a weighing sensor which measures the product flow rate. The user enters a desired flow capacity and starts dosage. The flat gate opens gradually and the product flows with increasing flow capacity over the weighing sensor. When reaching the desired flow capacity, movement stops.
Contact Us to talk with technical experts or to get a quick quotation now.
Application:
The Flow Controller FC3 is suited for the following applications:
- Production of grain blends by dosage from different silos, automatic recipe control
- Controlled discharge of silos for constant feeding of processing machinery
- Easy exchange of old discharging devices with low installation costs
For operation of the Flow Controller FC3 full product stock at the inlet of the device is required.

BC3
BATCH CONTROLLER BC3
Applied products:
All free flowing products can be measured, e.g. grain, pulses, granules, malt, pellets, soya and diverse bruised grains
Batch dosing of free flowing bulk solids:
- Pneumatic controlled flat gate with weighing sensor
- Summation of throughput in kg
- Gravimetric batch dosing with preselection of desired amounts in kg
- Easy installation directly under silo outlet
- Very low installation height
Function:
A pneumatic controlled flat gate is located in a steel housing. Under the flat gate there is a weighing sensor which measures the product flow rate. The user enters a desired batch amount and starts dosage, the flat gate opens and the product flows with maximum capacity over the baffle plate. When reaching the desired amount, the dosage is stopped.
Contact Us to talk with technical experts or to get a quick quotation now.
Application:
The Batch Controller BC3 is suitable for the following applications:
- Dosage for bulk loading with preselection of desired batch amounts, e.g. for truck loading
- Continuous and fast filling and emptying of big-bags in batch operation
- Dosage of product components in batch operation, e.g. for production of feeding stuff
- Measurement of flow capacity and total amount at the outlet of a silo
For operation of the Batch Controller BC3 full product stock at the inlet of the device
is required.

RC
ROTOR WEIGHER RC
Applied products:
A large number of poor flowing products can be measured, e.g. flour, powder and bran.
Continuous weighing of poor flowing bulk solids Overview:
- Sealed dust-tight and maintenance-free system
- Low installation height, easy assembly
- Largely insensitive to vibrations
- Direct mass flow measurement with high accuracy
- Patented and proven measuring system
Function:
A horizontally aligned rotor is located inside the Rotor Weigher. It is driven at constant speed. The product is fed to the center of the rotor and accelerated to approx. 9 m/s. The occurring Coriolis force is gathered by a torsion spring and captured by a flux induction sensor. The system is completely proportional to the mass flow measurement. Material-specific characteristics such as flow characteristics or friction are not included in the measurement as errors.
Contact Us to talk with technical experts or to get a quick quotation now.
Application:
The Rotor Weigher RC is suited for the following applications:
- Continuous weighing of bulk flow for implant control purpose and calculation of extraction
- Frequency controlled dosage for production of blends or additives

NC8
The NC 8 Automatic Dampening System continuously measures free product flow. The product moisture is measured in the bypass pipe.
- Continuous measurement of moisture, hl-weight and temperature of grain, as well as measurement of actual flow capacity
- Exact moisture regulation to achieve a constant final product moisture for the grinding process
Exact moisture regulation of all grain types:
- Successor series to NC6 system
- Applicable for all intensive dampeners
- Exact water regulation according to desired target moisture
- Available with integrated weighing system
- Modern evaluation electronic with coloured touch panel and intuitive operation menu
- Webserver with Ethernet interface for display on PC and mobile devices
- Permanent data storage of all measured data for retraceability
Function:
By application of the Automatic Dampening System a mill can achieve optimal performance by maintaining its grain moisture at a constant level. The required water amount to be given into the grain – in order to achieve target moisture – is calculated of actual moisture and grain flow.
Applied products:
All free flowing grain types can be measured, e.g. wheat, spelt, rye, barley, oat, maize, pepper and malt.
Available Interfaces:
- 2 x Analogue output 0-10V for actual capacity and actual moisture
- 2 x Relay output (230V AC) for alarm notifications
- Digital output (24V DC) for preselection signal
- RS485 (also configurable as Modbus-RTU) all process data can be accessed
- RS232 all process data can be accessed
Optionally available interfaces:
- Profibusall process data can be accessed
- Profinetall process data can be accessed
- Ethernet/IPall process data can be accessed
- Further interfaces are available on demand.

MC
Continuous monitoring of moisture content of free flowing bulk solids, grain and granules
- Moisture measurement by high-frequency probe
- Display and registration of: current humidity, Hectoliter weight, grain temperature
Function:
The Online Moisture Measuring Unit MC is used for continuous monitoring of moisture contents of free-flowing bulk solids, in particular grain and granulates. A high frequency probe, centrally mounted in a measuring pipe, measures the relative permittivity and temperature of the bulk material passing the probe. These values are continuously processed by the evaluation unit in order to determine the moisture contents of the material; this is then displayed digitally.

WD
Control device for manual moisturing of grain:
The water dosage unit is used to moisten grain manually. The dosing unit is connected to the drinking water pipe. Any water flow rate can be set. The water flow is initiated by actuating a solenoid valve.
Assembly:
The water dosage unit can be assembled at any place between water supply and intensive dampener.
Electrical connection:
For control of the solenoid valve a mains connection of 230 V / 1 A is required. It is recommendable to connect this valve to a capacitive proximity switch. This proximity switch must be assembled so that is switches when grain is running through the intensive dampener.
The correct water flow in l / h is set by the following calculation:
Grain flow in t/h x target % of water addition x 12
