ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor based pellet mill controller provides fully automatic, programmed operation of a pellet mill with operator selection from among several operating system parameters to control a pellet run. The controller comprises an operator's console having a plurality of switches to permit operator selected between manual or automatic control of individual equipment in the mill; a plurality of switches to permit operator selection of a pellet formulation and mill load; a plurality of digital displays to monitor the status of ingredient input rates and total, and system operating parameters and totals; and a plurality of display lights to cue the operator and indicate equipment status. A software package is disclosed for achieving fully automatic operation, the microprocessor being capable to re-programming to alter its mode of operation.
