EDG-trac Features and Benefits
Infinite Adjustment Extends Cycle Times and Conserves Precoat
- Will cut as slow as 0.0003 inches/min.
- Extend cycle times by hours or days.
Precise Control Optimizes Cake Removal
- Cuts 0.003 (inches/drum revolution) at drum speeds as low as 0.1 RPM.
- Removes exactly the right amount of precoat and all cake.
Automatic High Speed Reverse Minimizes Operator Involvement
- At end of filtration cycle, knife automatically reverses and retreats to "home" position at high speed.
PCL Control Automates Knife Advance Operation
- Allows knife and drum controls to be combined.
- Create multiple presets for knife speed.
- Implement security to limit access to authorized personnel
- Displays Critical and Helpful Information
- Knife Speed (inches/drum revolution)
- Knife Actual Speed (inches/minute)
- Knife Position from Drum Face
- Time Remaining in Cycle
- Knife Speed (inches/drum revolution)
- Tie into plant DCS.
Manual Control Option Reduces Purchase Cost
- Uses Potentiometer Control to set knife speed.
- Displays knife speed as in/min.
- Includes automatic high-speed knife retract and manual High Speed Forward and Reverse.
Replace Inefficient or Broken OEM Knife Advance
- Broken or worn out knife advances either do not remove enough cake to be efficient or they cut too deep which wastes precoat and increases operating costs.
- Many older OEM knife advances, even when working correctly, do not cut precisely which shortens cycle times and uses excess precoat.
- Retract operation on many OEM designs is dfficult. Some require manual operation which in some cases requires exposing opertor to moving parts.
- Some OEM designs use separate motors for advance and retract which adds to maintenance requirements.
System Components
- Single Motor Clutch-Free Design is highly efficient, contains fewer parts, and is easy to adjust
- Stainless Steel Construction for corrosion resistance
- IP65 Touch-sreen and Controls for precision control and integration with existing control systems
- Knife to Drum Position Readout aids precision adjustment for efficient use of precoat material
- Auto and Manual Sequencing for easy operator adjustment
- Redundant Travel Limit Protection and Alarm prevent damaging contact between knives and drum
