Batch System
Integra Batch is the most innovative and productive control system available in the industry today for maximizing batching accuracy and performance, while minimizing maintenance and costs. Utilizing the design philosophy of integrating the best technology available, Integra Batch is built with readily available components, eliminating the hidden costs associated with proprietary, single source, parts; and ensuring that the system can continually be improved as new technology becomes available.
Designed for Quality… Delivering Key Advantages
Integra Batch enables ready mix plant operators to:
• Batch faster & more accurately – increase production while decreasing material costs
• Reduce plant downtime and maintenance costs
• Never buy software releases again – included with annual support
• Greatly improve lightning and electrical surge protection
• Computer recordation and identification of all inventory transactions, including all
manual adjustments
Fully Integrated with Integra Dispatch and Integra Office
• Common database utilized throughout all Integra products, including Integra Batch
• Common order entry, mix master, customer master, job/project master, etc.
• Automatic synchronization of master files*
• Increases staff flexibility while minimizing training requirements
• Dispatch workstations can serve as back-up batch panels*
• Can operate dispatch and batch from the same workstation
• Administrative and security control through the network domain
• Guaranteed support response 24/7
Batching Flexibility
• True remote batching capabilities from anywhere on the network with complete
manual
control for jogging, etc.*
• Batching and dispatch can operate from the same PC
• Batch multiple plants from the same Integra Batch system with intelligent mix control
based
on each plant configuration*
• Unlimited number of scales, admixtures and I/O can be controlled based on design specifications
• Virtually eliminate 120V plant wiring with "smart" Devicenet® or Ethernet/IP valves
• Utilize optional wireless or fiber connections between the plant and/or panel components
for system isolation, electrical surge protection and system relocation.
Batch 10% Faster
"Many customers report a minimum 10% batch time
improvement with Integra Batch. That equates to
at least one additional load per hour..."
Extremely Easy to Use
• 100% Windows® compliant
• Plant graphics customized to match your exact plant configuration add/change or customize plant
components on
the manual panel by downloading new graphics and connecting to pre-numbered
wiring tabs
• User defined color schemes, button positions and size, indicators, etc. on software driven manual screen
• Easy to read and understand plant set-up and tuning variables
• Instantly change material bin and/or scale assignment
• Instantly identify material assignment per bin and real-time inventory levels
• Standard and IP-based communication options with most dispatch systems
• Set load rates by truck and by mix – easily adjusted on the fly to accommodate actual conditions
• Adjust effectiveness rates for admixtures and air
Simplified Discharge Set Up
"Integra Batch's drag-and-drop simplicity enables you to create customized discharge set ups in a matter of seconds, while visually mapping the entire process on screen..."
