The final component in your batching system is the batching controller. In reality the manufacturers of these controllers, boards, software and microprocessors are multi-million dollar companies, such as Siemens, Sartorius, Hardy, GE and Allen-Bradley, whom are able to pour millions into R&D in a way, smaller, “feeder” companies cannot. Due to this 3Sigma utilizes a number of sources to provide the best possible results in meeting your integrated requirements.

Protects sensitive weighing equipment from power-related performance problems Premium EMI/RFI noise filtering prevents equipment interaction, system interference, lockups and other power-related issues
3Sigma continues to search for the best controllers for your application. Internal testing of four different batch controllers has proven that one controller does not fit all needs.
Micros (3-100 gram batches)
One fast/dribble batch controller outperformed the other three controllers by a factor of 300-600%. This controller is generally specified for any micro batches.
Macros (>200 lbs)
The controlled rate batch controller generally yields much better results as the controller takes up to 60 samples from the scale per second and controls both the fast feed (100 PPM) and the dribble feed (5 PPM), precisely on an ongoing second-to-second basis. Maintaining a constant/controlled feed rate provides:
Controls 1 or 2 Scales, Multiple Feeders
Fast/ Dribble operation
Up to 55 scale readings/ second
Auto Preact adjustment
Auto Jog
WaverSaver® vibration rejection
Alarms, shutdown, timers
Network compatible
Wireless access
