A 5511 Filler Controller is a piece of computerized equipment, pre-programmed to operate and control “fill by weight” filling machines.
The hardware includes a CPU to control the fill sequence, I/O cards to monitor and operate the field devices associated with filling containers, and some Operator Interface (like a touchscreen) to monitor and control overall system operations.
Almost, the 5511 Filler Controller offers specific programming sequencing required to operate virtually any filling machine, like Gross Fillers, Auger Fillers, Air Packers, Impeller Fillers, Net Weigh Fillers, Drum Fillers, Box Fillers, and more
The operational files on the touchscreen can become corrupted and the touchscreen needs to be recalibrated. Refer to attached files, describing the recalibration procedure.
