Flexicon Expands Controls Department

The expansion coincided with a change within Flexicon’s range of controls from mechanical to programmable logic relays (PLRs) said to reduce the cost, size and potential failure associated with analog timers and hard relays, while adding digital programmability to individual equipment functions. Flexicon also uses programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for more sophisticated equipment such as weigh batching systems, pneumatic systems and plant-wide bulk handling systems.

Smart controls allow simple programming of equipment functions by the customer, and emailing of programs to and from the Controls Department for troubleshooting, reinstallation or customization.
