KTron Loss in Weight Feeder Manual Explained
This video takes a deep dive into understanding 3 critical pages of the K-tron manual.
If you have any questions regarding the skills required to be a strong process engineer, please leave them in the comments. This video is a result of a viewer question, and I would love to answer more questions like this!
If you are new to loss in weight feeders, please check out my previous video, "Loss in Weight Feeders". I happen to love digging through the manual, but if you are brand new to powder feeders, the other video takes a higher level approach and includes some real world data.

Common Pumps and Their Uses - Process Engineer School
Переглядів 3166 років тому
A quick introduction to centrifugal and a few positive displacement pumps that are commonly used in manufacturing. There are pros and cons to each type. Centrifugal pumps can be paired with flow control valves to deliver a metered flow rate. A diaphragm pump can be used as a cheap way to unload a drum or tote into a tank. A gear pump is used to deliver a highly precise flow rate. A lobe pump is...
Loss in Weight Feeders
Переглядів 22 тис.6 років тому
Loss in weight feeders consistent of a screw feeder that doses powder from a hopper. The hopper is periodically refilled by a much larger storage silo. The hopper is on weigh cells that continuously measure the weight of the powder in the hopper. The controller will determine how much weight it loses in a given amount of time. This loss in weight is interpreted as a flow rate. The flow rate is ...
Process Stop Conditions

In this video, I walk through the typical stop conditions associated with a typical liquid flow set up in a manufacturing plant. Of course the flow rate should be as close to the target flow rate as possible but when do you want the process to stop if it's not? Typically, there is a high deviation for short time and a slow deviation for long time stop conditions that are both active. /-5% for 3...
Controls System

In this video, I walk through the electronic components that are behind the scenes to power a pump or valve to control to a flow rate. We start with the control room where an operator works with a human machine interface (HMI). The signal from the HMI is sent to the PLC. The PLC tells the variable frequency drive (VFD) how fast to turn the motor which turns the pump. The flow meter measures the...
