TOUCH SCREEN MOTORS START/STOP CONTROL PANEL Color, flat panel LCD touch screen display to be mounted on console. Complete with master start/stop with separate enable for recycle equipment, safety interlocks, and auto/manual interlock of the baghouse cleaning system to the asphalt inject. Control center PLC for safeties and other connections to other panels. Energy center PLC interface to all motor starters. Simple, 4-wire communication link to any remotely located MCC. Ammeters and zero speed shaft sensors are easily & cost effectively interfaced. Alternate action start/stop operators displayed on the touch screen as a labeled colored square "button". Buttons indicate motor status with different colors. A single button two-step master start is included along with a recycle system enable to allow one button hot restarts of all process motors. A two-step sequenced start allows the drum and other large motor loads to start before the other process motors are started. Distributed motor control switchgear can be located in a separate energy center, on the baghouse, at the silo system, and/or even at the feeders. Even single motor control centers located in the same room as the plant operator can be interconnected more cost effectively with this approach.

Lime Slurry Blending & Proportioning In 2003, a customer had an experimental job for his state that required the coating of the virgin aggregate prior to its introduction into the drum mixer with an accurately blended slurry of lime and water. The customer had his own ideas for the design of the slurry blending and aggregate coating hardware. SYSTEMS Equipment was to provide a stand alone slurry blending control and to also modify the existing SYSTEMS ADP-100 plant automation to control the coating of the aggregate.
