| The central feeding system is an automated production support system designed for plastic processing industries such as injection molding and blow molding. Through centralized management of raw material transportation, storage, and distribution, it achieves efficient and energy-saving continuous operations. The following are its core points: 1、 Definition and core functions Basic positioning The central feeding system (centralized feeding system) uses vacuum or positive pressure pneumatic conveying to transport raw materials from storage tanks to the central dehumidification and drying system, and then redistribute them to each injection molding machine, achieving 24-hour unmanned continuous production. Core functions Multi material adaptation: Supports automatic supply of multiple materials to different injection molding machines, including drying, color matching, and recycling of materials. Closed loop control: By real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment, it ensures the stability and consistency of raw material transportation, avoiding moisture regain and pipeline blockage. 2、 System composition and key technologies Main modules Central control console: adopting PLC and human-machine interface touch panel, integrating monitoring, alarm and emergency functions. Conveyor unit: including vacuum feeder, cyclone dust collector, branch station, etc., to achieve precise conveying of "one machine, one pipe". Drying and dehumidification: The central dehumidifier works in conjunction with the drying hopper to ensure that the moisture content of the raw materials meets the standard. Technological innovation The patented technology of Shenzhen Shouxi Machinery achieves flexible material switching between different injection molding machines and reduces manual intervention through the coordination of the discharge robot and the feeding robot. The intelligent control system developed by Nigas Group optimizes energy consumption through performance simulation experiments, reducing overall costs by up to 60%. 3、 Technical advantages Efficiency improvement Automated feeding reduces manual operations, increases production line utilization by 60%, and enables close coordination of multiple processes. The entire system supports rapid material replacement, adapting to the needs of multiple varieties and small batch production. Energy conservation and consumption reduction Reducing the redundancy of standalone equipment significantly lowers electricity and maintenance costs. The utilization rate of raw materials has been improved, the dust filtration system has reduced waste, and the comprehensive energy consumption has decreased by 20% -30%. Optimization of production environment Centralized dust recovery and low-noise design, creating a dust-free workshop that meets modern factory management standards. 4、 Application Fields Plastic processing: mainly in injection molding and blow molding workshops, supporting multi-color material combinations and cold material recycling. New energy and chemical industry: used for precise measurement and transportation of battery materials and chemical raw materials. Medicine and food: Ensure clean feeding in a sterile environment to enhance product safety. 5、 Future Trends Industry 4.0 integration: Global data monitoring is achieved through IoT technology and deeply integrated with ERP/MES systems. Modular Expansion: Adapt to the needs of flexible manufacturing and develop standardized feeding units that can be quickly deployed. In summary, the central feeding system has become a key infrastructure for cost reduction and efficiency improvement in modern manufacturing through automation and intelligent upgrades, and will further develop towards cross industry universality in the future. |
