Abstract

The data acquisition system disclosed herein serves to monitor and record various parameters of a mixer employed in an elastomer processing system. During each mixing operation, the elastomer compound identification and batch number are recorded. This information is then followed by periodic recordings of the concurrent values of real time, the temperature of the elastomer and the work performed, in terms of the amount of energy consumed to work the elastomer. The recording intervals take place in response to sensing such conditions as work chamber door closed, ram down, ram floating, and door open.
