AccuLoad III Blending

Sequential Blending

Sequential Blending
Blending of More Than One Product Into a Truck Through the Sequencing of Product-Specific Block Valves One Product at a Time Through One Meter With Up to 50 Recipes Available. The ratio of varying products is designated in the recipe as a percentage of the total preset. These percentages must total 100%. AccuLoad automatically calculates the actual volumes of each product to be delivered. The order of product delivery must be included in the recipe definition.

Ratio Blending

Ratio Blending
Blending More Than One Product Into a Truck Simultaneously Through Dedicated Product Lines Each Having Its Own Meter and Control Valve Co-Mingling in a Common Header The ratio of the component products is designated in the recipe as a percentage of the total preset. These percentages must total 100%. The AccuLoad III automatically calculates the actual volumes of each product to be delivered. Flow rates are adjusted for optimal blend accuracy while conforming to the programmed system flow profile using Smith's exclusive control algorithm.

Hybrid Blending

Hybrid Blending
Hybrid Blending is a Combination of Sequential Blending and Ratio Blending. Suited for Applications Such as Ethanol Blending or Bio-Diesel Blending. The Sequential Products Flow One at a Time. Ratio Products Flow Simultaneously with Each of the Sequential Products. Ratio Product(s) can be Plumbed Either Upstream or Downstream of the Sequential Product Meter. Up to 5 Ratio Product Meters on One Arm

Hybrid Programming
Each Ratio Product for Hybrid Arms Require a Control Valve. The Sequential Meter Requires 1 Control Valve. Each Sequential Product Requires a Block Valve if Multiple Sequential Products are Programmed.

Wildstream Blending

Wildstream Blending
Provides Continuous In-Line Blending of two or More Products. Load Arm is Configured as Hybrid. Meters can be Plumbed Upstream or Downstream Programmable Unlimited Preset Parameter. Wildstream can be Controlled or Uncontrolled. Up to Three Loading Arms With two Products Each

Wildstream Configuration

The First Meter(s) Configured are the Controlled Products.

Number of Controlled Products is Determined by the Number of Ratio Products Programmed. The Last Meter Configured is the Wildstream Product

Upstream Plumbed
Uncontrolled Wildstream Product. Controlled Product Plumbed Upstream of the Wildstream Product.

Two Controlled Products

Uncontrolled Wildstream Product. On the Fly Blend Percent and Meter Change Recipe can be changed via Communications or Recipe Select Input

Three Wildstream Arms

Three Uncontrolled Wildstream Products. Three controlled Products

Unlimited Preset
Arm High Flow Rate not Required for Unlimited Preset. Arm Low Flow Start Rate is not Used for Wildstream. If High Flow Rate is Programmed, Excess High Flow Rate Alarm can be Used. Controlled Product Flow Rate Based on Wildstream Flow rate. AccuLoad Adjusts the Controlled Product Flow Rate to Adjust Blend Percentage in Recipe. Timed Blend Algorithm is automatically used When Set to Unlimited Preset. Ratio Adjust Factor Algorithm will not be used.

Controlled Wildstream
Desired Flow Rates are Based on Programmed High and Low Flow Rates. Arm High Flow Rate is used if all Meters are Controlled. Low Flow Start Rate is Used if all Meters are Controlled. Blend Adjustments are Made After Low Flow Start Amount. AccuLoad Adjusts Both Controlled Product Flow Rates to Adjust Blend Percentage of Recipe.
