Automated Batching System

Cross Batching System Automation

Batching is a process used in the manufacturing of a wide range of products from concrete and seal coating to baked goods and cosmetics. In the simplest terms, batching is like making a really big cake. Batching systems automate the process of weighing and mixing raw materials together to create a final product.

By automating your mixing, blending, or batching system, you can ensure your products are uniform, across different machines, different shifts, and even different plants.

In industries where it’s essential to have accurate and efficient batching, automated batching systems have become game-changers. At Cross Company Automation, we’re able to provide state-of-the-art automated batching systems that optimize industrial processes, ensure precise ingredient measurements, minimize process errors, and maximize your productivity. Through our customized, cutting-edge batching automation, we’re able to transform the batching process for industrial operations across industries. And we can do it for your operation, too.

Customized Batching Automation Solutions

Our engineering department has built hundreds of customized blending and batching systems across many different industries. Each application is slightly different. The experts at Cross work with you to understand your requirements and tailor the solution to meet your particular needs. We also pride ourselves on taking ownership of the project from start to finish, this means that if there is a question or issue we are the only phone call you need to make.

Benefits of Automated Batching Systems

There are many benefits for operations who implement automated batching systems. Some of these include

Greater Precision

Automated batching systems are designed to deliver precise and highly accurate measurements of ingredients. Through integrating highly-accurate scales, meters, and other measurement devices, these systems can ensure exact quantities are dispensed, ensuring accuracy

Improved Product Quality

Consistent batch-to-batch results and accurate ingredient measurements invariably result in improved product quality overall. Automated batching systems make sure the right ingredients are added in the right quantities, eliminating variations and inconsistencies in the final products produced

Increased Savings

Automated batching streamlines batching processes. This significantly reduces the time required to weigh and measure ingredients manually. By automating these repetitive tasks, you save the time spent on performing manual labor and reduce incorrect proportioning and other waste

How Cross Can Help Your Batching Process

Automated blending and batching can also help you by

Reducing Raw Material Waste – use only what’s required and nothing more. By knowing exactly what is consumed, you can minimize your material usage variance and improve your forecasting.

Saving Time – operators no longer have to waste time fiddling around to get the right amount in the batch. Pre-programmed recipes also allow them to switch between products at the touch of a button.

Increasing Efficiency – automated batching systems can monitor when an ingredient has run out. The system is shut down and the operator alerted to restock, via email if necessary. This improves your equipment utilization and ensures you’re getting product out the door as efficiently as possible.

Increasing Traceability – the system can record what went into each batch and when, providing you traceability for compliance and quality purposes.
