Abstract:
A Control System for monitoring the flow of air in a high capacity column delivery device, wherein a programmable logic controller, uses one or more sensors for sensing changes in air pressure and an air flow in a system to ensure one or more chute continuously and uniformly discharge a material; the programmable logic controller is connected to the system having; one or more sensors and a compressor which is mechanically connected to the system to supply the air to each chute through an air hose, which is necessary in order to assist the material to travel down a pipes and into the chute and out at a tip of a vibratory probe mechanism; the system further comprises at least one air hose directed downwardly in each chute to prevent any blockage of the material; wherein the programmable logic controller monitors the flow of air and pressure of air in the system through the use of these signals and electronically decides an appropriate reaction by sends a signal to the valve and air hose; when a blockage occurs in the chute, a first signal is sent from the sensor to the programmable logic controller to make adjustments by reducing air flow from a clear chute and diverts more air to a potentially blocked chute which causes an increase in air flow and pressure of air to the potentially blocked chute; and when the blockage is cleared from the chute, a second signal is sent from the sensor to the programmable logic controller to reverse the previous operation and balances the flow of air and pressure of air to each chute.
