Coperion’s standard conveying controls provide a fully integrated environment for managing vacuum sequencing and material loading systems. Built on proven, pre-engineered designs, these controls simplify operation, improve system reliability, and ensure efficient performance for both compact single-receiver setups and complex multi-receiver networks.
Designed for flexibility and easy operation
Each system is built to minimize wiring, reduce installation cost, and provide fast commissioning. The LSR controller offers an all-in-one solution for single receivers, while the Series 4 MPC and Series 4 PLC central controllers allow operators to manage multiple receivers, control blower packages, and configure system parameters from one location. Quick-connect cabling, intuitive keypad interfaces, and pre-programmed logic make setup straightforward for new installations or retrofits.
Reliable performance for a wide range of conveying applications
The standard conveying controls portfolio supports systems ranging from basic refill operations to multi-blower, multi-receiver layouts. Features such as fill-by-time or fill-to-level operation, pulse-cleaning routines, programmable receiver modes, and integrated communication with SmartConnex feeder controls ensure stable, repeatable conveying performance.
With support for modern communication protocols and seamless integration to the K-Vision line controller, these controls offer strong connectivity, diagnostics, and scalability for advanced plant environments.
