Efficient dosing processes: Control vs. regulation - what makes the difference?
In industrial dosing processes, controlling the quantity dispensed is crucial for quality and efficiency. But how can you ensure that dosing is always precise? We compare four different control models and show how the Walther Valve Controller (WVC) drastically reduces the integration effort. Figure 1 (🇬🇧 5): Classic PLC control without feedback
The valve is opened for a fixed time ⏱️, but the actual quantity discharged can fluctuate - e.g. due to changes in pressure or viscosity. Without measuring the actual discharge quantity, process reliability remains limited.Figure 2 (🇬🇧 6): PLC with volume flow meter for process evaluation (IO/NIO)
Measuring the discharged quantity is possible, but involves a high level of integration effort (additional hardware, software adaptations, calibration and fine adjustment). Figure 3 (🇬🇧 7): WVC control with volume flow meter for process evaluation (IO/NIO)
Low integration effort via plug-and-play: Automatic calibration and compensation of dead times facilitate commissioning. The volumetric flow is controlled directly via the WVC, without complex PLC adaptations.Figure 4 (🇬🇧 8): WVC as a control system
The highest level of process control: regulation instead of control! The WVC dynamically adjusts the valve opening time to ensure a constant discharge rate - regardless of external influencing factors such as pressure or viscosity fluctuations. Conclusion: If you want process reliability with minimum effort, there is no way around a solution with the WVC!

The Walther Pulse Valve WPV: Innovative evolution of process technology ...
Precise dosing without component contact: Pulse valves represent an excellent solution for dosing a variety of viscous media. Through the repetitive and accurate dispensing of drops, very small quantities can be discharged at high speeds without compromising precision. Therefore, pulse valves are particularly suitable for applications that require high speeds, such as in mass production. In this context, even hard-to-reach and uneven component geometries are rarely a problem. However, the need for a usually complex control and programming presents significant disadvantages, such as associated high acquisition and commissioning costs, as well as an increased potential for errors. To minimize the costly complexity and make this type of media application even more efficient and user-friendly, we have developed the Walther Pulse Valve WPV.
Technological sophistication and integration: The WPV pulse valve is characterized by an optimized design that not only allows for a very small footprint but also incorporates advanced technologies for control, monitoring, and process evaluation. This enables a cost- and time-saving system integration without additional control technology, software, or programming. The motto "parameterize instead of program" extends from commissioning to process monitoring, offering additional possibilities to control and evaluate additional peripheral elements without overarching control.
Access to the valve's own dashboard is easily done via a web interface, providing extensive new options with remote parameterization and diagnosis. Additionally, multiple parameter sets can be stored, and process variables documented. Software add-ons also offer flexibility for future challenges. Other features include a pressure sensor, a valve heating system with temperature control, as well as analog and digital connections for comprehensive connectivity. Remarkably, the fully electric operation eliminates the need for compressed air lines, further reducing integration effort and space requirements while lowering operating costs.
Overall, the WPV impresses with well-thought-out functions and offers a high level of process control, positively impacting process capability, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and product quality. Thus, the WPV pulse valve represents a groundbreaking development in dosing technology: the combination of contactless material application and innovative features opens up new possibilities for efficient, highly automated production processes.

Simple trick for difficult containers
The issue has been resolved.Recently, we faced a minor problem when we received a new product delivery. One of the containers had a unique feature - a collar at the upper edge that tapered the opening, similar to a paint can. This presented a small yet significant challenge as it made inserting the follower plate of our conveyor system into the container more difficult.In such a scenario, transferring the contents into a standard container would be a suitable solution. However, a more efficient approach is to cut open the top of the container. It is crucial to ensure a smooth and burr-free separation of the material. This can be achieved easily with the help of a common household item found in nearly every home - a can opener. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, keep this handy trick in mind!
