Motor Controls for:-
"Hanson Concrete, New Orleans, 2007."

  • Scale-Tron motor control centersScale-Tron motor control centers are the link between BatchTron and your mixer and conveyor motors. A steel NEMA-12 cabinet houses all starters and the main disconnect switch.

  • Fuseless - panels do not even require fuses on the incoming power line. All motor starters are protected by individual circuit protection modules, which trip on an overload and are easily reset.  Any trip results in an alarm on BatchTron's touch screen, allowing fast diagnosis and correction.
  • Isolate one motor and leave others running. Each motor circuit protector has its own isolation switch, allowing any combination of motors to be isolated.
  • Small size of components and the compact layout of starters and circuit protectors shrink the cabinet size to half that of older fused starters.
  • Rail mount, modular assembly means that replacement is quick and easy - just disconnect and snap out. Likewise, adding extra starters is just as easy.
  • Soft Starters for motors of 30HP and over give smooth starts that are easy on both motors and power lines.  Note that soft starters require the extra protection of fast blow fuses.
  • Programmable kickstart gives mixer motors the necessary boost when starting on a full load.
  • UL/CSA approval is guaranteed by our use of approved components throughout. Construction is carried out to UL/CSA, National Electrical Code or other local code requirements.
  • Wire numbering is a continuation of the BatchTron numbering system, making it easy to trace connections and maintain the system.
  • CAD schematics and parts listing provided.
  • All parts stocked either at our plant or our local supplier for quick shipment in emergencies
  • Parts available locallyRockwell / S&S starters and circuit protectors are used throughout;  these are identical to, and can be directly replaced by Rockwell / Allen Bradley parts, available everywhere.  Call us for details.

Soft Starters are Rockwell / S&S type PFS for motors of 50HP and over, PCS for under 50 HP.  The PFS includes LCD display of motor current, fault alarms, running time and many other premium functions that are invaluable to properly monitor operation and diagnose faults on these expensive and critical motors.


Panel mount current meters and power monitoring can be added at any time, allowing you to monitor critical processes or devices such as hidden conveyor belts.


Individual reset and manual trip buttons are internally located. These can also be provided on the front panel if required, for extra safety.


6-wire connection ("inside the delta") can be used to substantially reduce cost while retaining all the benefits of the soft starter if the MCC can be placed next to the mixer, where the main disconnect switch also becomes the motor safety isolation switch.  This also eliminates the cost of the isolation switch, a further saving.  For 2-motor mixers such as the Sicoma MAO and larger models of the MP series, when the MCC must be positioned away from the mixer, conventional 3-wire connection should be used, but a 6-pole isolation switch is required.  We can provide very competitive pricing on this type of switch.

Talk to us about these cost saving options - they are absolutely as safe as conventional methods and meet all codes.


High Pressure Washout panelsHigh Pressure Washout panels are available for Sicoma and other brands of mixer. 

  • Manual start/stop of washing system for manual cleanout
  • Timed washout cycle for letting it run during other cleanup chores
  • Fully automatic cycle connection to batching controller, allows controller to close discharge doors, start mixer, pressure wash for preset time, rinse cycle and open doors for discharge. 
  • In-use signal to lock out batching when in use.
  • Also provided are automatic reservoir refill, using liquid sensing relays and probes in reservoir.

 

 


Plant wiring runs and wire sizes can be provided if you wish. We provide a full engineering service up to installation supervision and startup, although the use of a local electrician is advisable for cost saving.

We are working towards RoHS compliance for all Motor Control Centers
