Mixing

Several fluids are to be mixed in a predetermined ratio in a mixing tank. Containers are filled with the product after thorough mixing.

The first component is added to the empty mixing tank via a solenoid valve until the required quantity is reached. The volume is determined by the level sensor on the basis of the filling height and tank geometry. The controller closes the solenoid valve when the required quantity is reached and opens the valve for the second component, etc. After adding the last component, the components are thoroughly mixed by an agitator to provide a homogenous product, which is then filled into containers or further processed. During the filling process, the product is added to a container until a load cell determines that the required filling quantity has been reached.
