Batching
As a leading producer of innovative precast and masonry products, your aim is to deliver products with constant mechanical strength, texture and color.
Adjust the required quantity of each batch constituent in real-time, while preserving key ratios and volumetric yield, with the Smart features of Marcotte Control. The batch mix is automatically fine-tuned during the process.
All parameters such as local material properties, temperature and moisture, density, absorption and granularity are used to balance your mixes. The end result is consistent quality. The batch flexibility provided by Marcotte Control Smart features is controlled at the mix design level. Mix designers retain full control.
Batch operators can execute locally or remotely with the same level of confidence thanks to the amazing speed and unique architecture of Marcotte Control. Real-time, interactive animated graphics give an instant overview of the process. Process sequences can accommodate multi-batch, freewheeling and sub-second instrumentation and controls.
