I have a total of ten hoppers, each feeding a single fluid processor. These hoppers are fed from a single closed loop conveyor that delivers the fluid like product in bucket (single item) quantities at a consistent rate. Although the product is the same for each packaging line, the packaging/processing output rates are different (due to the size of the package). I need supply each hopper with enough product to keep it from running out & and stopping the processor. Is there a way that I can set a priority of which hoppers should be getting filled, based on how full the tank currently is/isn't & how quickly it processes its product? Or is there a better way to do this? Increasing the rate at which the conveyor delivers product is not an option.
