RDSW-3SS Retort and Automatic Retort Control System Package 5 for Laboratory and Pilot Plant Applications

The DIXIE RETORT PACKAGE 5 AUTOMATED CONTROL SYSTEM is a PC/PLC based control that allows an operator to run the DIXIE RETORT in any of five modes. All communication with the PLC is done through a seventeen inch touch screen PC mounted on the door of the control panel. The touchscreen will allow the operator to choose one of five modes, enter set points, start the process, and view the status of the cook. All Temperature, Pressure and Time (Cook Log) information will be recorded to a .CSV Text File and saved to PC. Text File may be downloaded from Thumb Drive for storage elsewhere or further review.
