Boral Brick Salisbury, NC
Plant 5
Material flow at this plant was a bit of a problem. The scrap returns are applied to the clay feed belt first. The Clay Even Feeder is on the other side of the wall. We installed a belt scale on this conveyor on this side of the wall to measure the Returns.
About half way up this conveyor we installed a scale that measures clay and scrap returns. We then subtract the returns from the total to determine the clay feed rate. That signal is then used to control the "Total Dry Feed Rate". The moisture transmitter was also mounted on this conveyor.
My good friend Mr. Ron Board from Canada came down to help with some of the scale logistics. Bob dry is the production manager for Plant 5.
