What are Manual Controllers used for in Batch Plant Operations?

While modern batch plants largely rely on automated systems for production, certain plant operations benefit from dedicated manual controls. Material handling equipment, including conveyor systems, radial stackers, and turnhead systems often utilizes manual controllers for precise operator control and maximum visibility during operation.

Benefits of Manual Controls in Concrete Production

• Easy Water Control – Just enter how much water you want in your batch and press “Go.”
• Basic Conveyor Safety – Conveyor belt start is delayed 0-30 seconds while a warning horn lets anyone nearby know the conveyor is about to start. Duration of warning horn can be set to your preference.
• Precision Aggregate Batcher Gate Control – Inching gates can be adjusted to control the flow of aggregates from the hopper to the conveyor belt. This helps avoid belt overloading and truck overfilling. To prevent starting the conveyor belt under load, the aggregate batcher gates won’t open unless the conveyor belt is operating.
• Cement Discharge Control – Bimba valves restrict the exhaust air speed of your cement batcher gates, allowing you to slowly open the gates and quickly close them.
• Trade-Up to Batchtron – If you decide to upgrade to a Batchtron automatic control system, we offer a trade-in credit on your manual panel within 2 years of the date of purchase. Trade-in value is based on the condition of your panel at the time of trade.
