Automation Package
The automation package forms the basis of our automated pump control range. It consists of a waterproof enclosure and has a 3.5″ full colour touchscreen mounted to the front. The PLC mounted inside takes care of all the pumps controls
This system allows us to provide complete flexibility of the pumps operations and allows us to easily create custom programs to suit the customers individual needs.
Connection to Rapidfil FMT-02
The automation system is designed specifically for use with our Rapidfil FMT-02. It allows the pump to slave with the Rapidfil unit. In other words, when the FMT-02 closes the valve to slow down, the pump will automatically slow down based on the pressure, once the valve reopens the pump will speed back up.
This allows the pump to provide the optimum flow and pressure the entire time the barrel/s are being filled or emptied. If one head is closed the pump will run at half speed.
The above applies for both filling and emptying of the barrels.
This system can be easily upgraded to our Cellar-Mate design at a later date.
