Conair AutoRSS manages up to 60 materials

Aug. 12, 2024
The Automatic Resin Selection Station makes connections and conveys resin on command.

Automatic Resin Selection Station (AutoRSS) Conair’s compact management system is available in three models and offers automated, proofed and traceable material transfers from up to 60 resin sources. The pellets are conveyed pneumatically. When the AutoRSS is in operation, two centrally mounted arms rotate along material ports held in circular manifolds located at the top and bottom of the unit. When the system receives a fill command, its upper arm rotates and clamps to the correct destination port, while the lower arm rotates and clamps to the correct material source port. 

What’s new? The AutoRSS model, which debuted at NPE. 

Benefits Speed, traceability, autonomy and accuracy. Unlike fantail manifolds or tabletop systems that require operators to manually connect sources to destinations and then execute conveying commands, the AutoRSS station makes the connections and conveys automatically on command. Conveying commands can be made remotely using either a SmartFLX HMI or any web-enabled device running Conair’s SmartServices monitoring and management dashboard.
