Inventory Shutdown Event
The blender has a feature called “inventory shutdown”. This is typically used to fill gaylords
without the need of a “full” prox for the bin. The blender can be configured to perform this
feature by entering in an “inventory shutdown value” under “Recipe Format” found under
“Setup” (see setup section for more details). Once a recipe with an inventory shutdown value
is started the blender will continue to make batches until the inventory shutdown value has
been reached. This is checked after the batch dumps, so you can end up with a value that is
nearly 1 batch greater in weight than the programmed inventory shutdown value. Once the
inventory shutdown value is reached the blender stops making batches, the alarm horn/flasher
is energized, and the page below is shown.
