Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:39:00 GMT

As any veteran troubleshooter knows, often the biggest challenge in diagnosing a process performance problem is backtracking from symptom to cause. By K-Tron Process Group

Technical Paper: Issues In Microfeeding

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:24:00 GMT

As anyone who works with bulk solid materials knows, accurately and reliably controlling the flow rate of material at normal process rates can be challenging. By K-Tron Process Group

Technical Paper: The Blend Uniformity Index

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:08:00 GMT

Common to all processors is the concept of a recipe. Wherever two or more materials are combined, a recipe exists. Whether it's called a recipe, a formulation, blend, or compound, the notion is the same: to specify ingredient proportions to create a product possessing certain carefully defined properties, attributes or characteristics.

Henry Ford's success with the auto assembly line indelibly imprinted the logic of having the worker stay put while the product moves. By K-Tron Process Group

Technical Paper: Short Timescale Feeding In Critical Process Applications

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:59:00 GMT

Feeding accuracy is key to quality in any process that controls the flow rate of bulk solid materials comprising the end product. Traditionally, repeatability testing (a statistical measure of the consistency of the feeder's discharge stream) has been conducted using one-minute catch samples to reflect the feeder's ongoing, 'steady state' performance.

Technical Paper: Continuous Gravimetric Extrusion Control

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:51:00 GMT

Gravimetric extrusion control has been around since the mid 80's. The sophistication, accuracy, and level of integration have improved greatly since the first systems were introduced due to the increasingly widespread use of computers and network technologies. By K-Tron Process Group

Technical Paper: Economics Of Feeding: Total Cost Approach To ROI

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:42:00 GMT

Feeding systems perform the important function of dosing ingredients into a food, plastics, pharmaceutical or other product in exactly the correct proportion-an extremely critical function for one small piece of the manufacturing line. An efficient and accurate feeding system, whether gravimetric or volumetric, can pay for itself quickly by producing material cost savings and keeping the process line up and running reliably, producing end product within specifications.

Technical Paper: SFT Vibrating Wire Weighing Technology

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:23:00 GMT

In the mid-1970s K-Tron revolutionized bulk solids feeding with its introduction of the first truly digital load cell specially designed for process weighing applications. Based on an innovative vibrating wire concept, the new digital technology soon proved to be a significant advance over the analog LVDTs and strain gauges then in widespread use.
