  • Patent number: 4093902
    Abstract: A mixing control system for elastomeric materials is described that includes a mixer housing forming a mixing chamber therein for receiving said elastomeric materials; at least one rotatable mixing means in the chamber; a dynamometer coupled to and driving said rotatable mixing means; torque sensing means for detecting torque exerted by the mixing means; said sensing means providing a torque signal level for controlling said mixing means; voltage-to-frequency conversion means for processing signal in which the pulse frequency varies in correspondence to the amplitude of the signal level; pulse counting means for continuously and cumulatively counting the pulses of said pulse signal; display means for displaying the count of said pulse counting means as the value of the integral of said signal level with respect to time; and control responsive means automatically responsive to a predetermined integrated value of said display means for controlling the total mixing energy input to the mixing control system.
