Recipe System

Flexible recipe/batch-ing system.
Suitable for manual or automatic addition or a combination of both
User-friendly operation and management information output to printer and / or PC.

PRODUCT SELECTION
•Products and associated recipes are stored in memory.
•Operators can select products by ID number or by picking from a list on screen.

INCREDIENT TARGETS
•Each ingredient within a recipe has a target with upper and lower tolerances specified.
•As each ingredient is selected the target amount is tared off so that the operator is always aiming towards a zero reference.
•A graphical bar on the screen gives excellent visual feedback of amount added vs. target.

INGREDIENT SELECTION
•The system can be configured to select subsequent ingredients in a variety of ways: automatically when a stable weight is detected in the target range or manually through the keypad or an external button.
•The configuration also allows the tolerance handling to be specified from the following: progression prohibited completely if the weight is outside the target range: progression outside the target range passcode protected; operation confirmation required outside the target range; or no restrictions.

MULTIPLE SCALES
•The system can have two scales if required; one for bulk ingredients and the other for fine ingredients.
•The scale is specified for each ingredient and the system automatically selects the scale when the ingredient is called up.

TRACEABILITY
•Unique ID numbers are generated automatically for each mix.
•Batch numbers can be entered for each ingredient and are maintained in the memory.
•Details of each mix can be output to printer and/or PC for archive records.

AUTOMATIC INGREDIENT ADDITION
•Any ingredients can be specified for automatic addition with a dedicated digital output channel.
•Optional output cards are required to provide the interface to external switchgear.
•Automatic addition can be combined with manual addition for a hybrid system.
