The Batch Weighing Controller dispenses a fixed amount at fixed times each day when set. Manual mode is also available by pressing a start button. Outputs from the controller start the process and stop the product when the target amount has been reached.

Most commonly, one or two ingredients are required. However, extra outputs are available allowing the individual weighing of up to 32 ingredients into the hopper. The weight of each ingredient is added independently. Therefore, discrepancies in the weight of one ingredient will not affect the amount added of other ingredients. The advantage of this is that some mixture can already be in the hopper before the fill operation without affecting the new batch.

The loss-in-weight mode adds more product to the hopper so that there is always enough ingredient ready for the next batch. The weight delivered is measured by the loss in weight of the hopper, so as long as there is enough to start the process the correct weight will always be delivered.

The advanced model also provides a readout of the instantaneous flow rate, the total weight dispatched and the number of batches. In a blending system or process control, a digital output from the Advanced Controller maintains a constant rate of flow by controlling the feed.
