Quantity : 1 No.
Automatic electronic weighing system for weighment of screened juice from mill
house is a load cell based system, having maximum capacity of 6.5 t/tip. The
capacity can be adjusted at site, depending upon the crushing rate.
Capacity : 6.5 t/tip

No. of tips : 60 tips/h (minimum)
Accuracy : ± 0.25% of full scale reading
Load Cell :
Type : Strain Gauge
Quantity : 4 (2 Active + 2 Dummy)
Properties of fluid to be handled
Liquid : Screened Juice

Specific gravity : 1.04
Temperature : 40 – 45 C
The system shall be complete with suitable feed tank, weigh tank, load cell system,
batching controller, control valves.
The Load Cell System shall consist of following:
Load Cells

BOILING HOUSE
Type/Make : * Digital/Scholar
The batching controller houses a batch control system comprising of MCB’s, relays,
switches, 24 VDC power supply etc. The batch control system would control the
batching sequence thereby controlling the charging and discharging of the cane
juice.
A brief description of the batching controller is given below supplier should provide
description of his system separately.
The Cane Juice is charged in the weigh tank from the top tank by the charging valve
with the help of Coarse/Fine mode. The weight of the Cane Juice is seen on the
weighment display. The Cane Juice is charged in coarse mode for approximately
90% of the set point. The balance juice is charged in fine mode. As soon as the set
point is reached, the Charge Fine Valve is turned OFF. At this stage the Discharge
Valve is turned ON. After the juice is discharged the discharge valve is turned OFF.
After the juice is discharged and before the starting of next cycle the amount of juice
tipped in this cycle is communicated to the MIS Software in the PC.
The above cycle keeps on repeating till it is stopped by putting Cycle Start/Stop
switch to Stop position.
Followings are provided on the batching controller panel:
a) Switches/Push Buttons:
Auto / Manual
Cycle Start / Stop
Charge – Coarse / Fine
Discharge – On /Off
