Section 9: Spinner Spreader

Control Settings – from Run Screen

These settings are shown in Controller Settings window, accessed via the Spinner

Control button on the Run screen.

 Each of these settings described below must be set for each individual Product Channel

(bin).

 Changing any of these settings in the display does not make the needed adjustments on

the product applicator. Setting value and physical setting on the spinner bed must be verified

for correctness prior to any product application.

 The Spread Width, Spinner Speed, Product Density, Feed Gate 1 Opening and the

Conveyor 1 Rate are all stored with each combination of product and control channel.

Spinner Spreader Control Settings – from Run Screen

Spread Width

Use the numeric keypad to edit the value.

Spinner Speed

The spinner speed required for accurate product placement in

relation to the spread width setting.

Note: The spinner speed is controlled automatically based upon this

setting when the system uses an optional PWM spinner speed

control valve.

Product Density

This density value (shown in pounds per cubic foot, or lb./ft.3), is

stored with each product. Use the keypad to edit if needed.

Note: For proper machine performance and accuracy, you should

check the Product Density daily.

Feed Gate 1 Opening

Represents the Feed Gate opening for Conveyor 1. Measure the

depth of product on the conveyor to ensure accurate feed gate setting

value.

Conveyor 1 Rate

(CFR Number)

This setting represents the volume of product dispensed by one

revolution of the conveyor drive shaft (cubic foot per revolution, or

ft.3 /rev.) This number is shown with the assumption that the

conveyor shaft has a 1-inch gate opening. This conveyor rate

remains constant, regardless of the height of the feed gate opening.

Caution: New products will have a default CFR number the first

time they are used. You must either manually enter or perform a

CFR calibration routine for each product once that product is

created, otherwise misapplication will occur.

The Calibrate Conveyor button starts the conveyor calibration

procedure.
