The Colormax Systems electronic controller is designed to control weigh belt feeders and loss-in-weight feeders in continuous and batch processes.

The feeder controller software is easily switched between continuous and batch mode functions. With our patented control software and hardware developed by our international parent company, our feeder controls represent a major advance over older PLC based control systems and completely eliminate the hysteresis experienced with less robust control technology.

The controller’s proprietary feeder algorithms provide for greater loss-in-weight feeding accuracy and improved low rate feeding. Process variables are continually adjusted to assure the desired performance.

Sample times of less than one second provide constant monitoring of the process results. Programmable alarms allow the user to adapt the system for changes in the process. A built in trending function allows for display of prior performance.

Single Feeder and Multi-Feeder Controls

The on-machine KCS-SCB controller combines the function of motor drive and feeder control in a compact package. The KCS-HMI supports recipe storage and recall and provides greater operational flexibility. The multi-feeder use interface provides for control and display of up to 8 feeders on a line and supports communication with a host DCS system.
