Abstract
Main stream agenda of the industries is to meet the production demand with high efficiency. The easy way achieving this is by improving the feeder conveyor. In the existing method flow in the feeder conveyor is controlled by changing the speed of the conveyor driving motor using electronic frequency controller (EFC). The gate valve is manually operated.. In this method the efficiency of the system is reduced and more cost due to EFC. To overcome this in the proposed methodology we remove the EFC and automate the gate valve. The motor speed is constant. The gate valve actuated by actuator piston. The gate valve opening is set as per the demand. A load cell is used to measure the weight of the material. Load cell sends signal to the microcontroller controller. The microcontroller control the level of the gate valve as per the requirement.
