Conveying controller for dense phase conveying
Dense phase conveying systems require precise control mechanisms to efficiently manage the transportation of bulk materials. Challenges such as maintaining air consumption, seamless integration into existing PLCs, and minimizing downtime during maintenance can complicate operations.
Efficiently manage conveying processes
The STP 61 by Gericke is a state-of-the-art controller designed specifically for dense phase conveying applications. This controller excels in managing both single and double vessel conveying systems and can function autonomously or be integrated into a plant’s PLC environment. The STP 61 offers intuitive operation via its color touch screen display and supports various communication protocols such as Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP, Profibus, and Profinet. Additionally, it includes automatic and manual modes that can be interlocked for safe operation. The system is pre-configured and approved, reducing setup time and costs. Operators benefit from remote diagnostics and the capability to minimize air consumption, leading to cost savings during extended operations. The controller is housed in a robust stainless steel cabinet, making it suitable for industrial environments.
