Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for monitoring lacquer consumption per can in a lacquer application unit. The device includes a counter providing can number data on the number of cans being applied with lacquer in the application unit; a tank for intermediate storage of lacquer; a lacquer feeder for feeding lacquer from a lacquer reservoir to the tank through an inlet pipe; and a lacquer feeder for feeding lacquer from the tank to the application unit. A valve is provided in the inlet pipe for intermittent movement between a closed position and an open position, in which lacquer is admitted into the tank. A flow meter is arranged to provide flow rate data on the amount of lacquer flowing into the tank. The device also includes a processor that, based on the flow rate data and the can number data, over a time period between two subsequent movements of the valve to one and only one of the positions, effects a calculation of the total amount of lacquer passing the flow meter during the time period and the total number of lacquer coated cans during the time period, to subsequently, by dividing the total amount by the total number, calculate a lacquer consumption value per can.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于在漆应用单元中监测每罐的漆消耗量的方法和装置。 该装置包括一个计数器，用于提供在应用单元中涂上漆的罐头数量的罐头数量; 用于中间储存漆的罐; 用于通过入口管将漆从漆容器供给到罐的漆供料器; 以及用于将漆料从罐输送到施加单元的漆供料器。 入口管中设有一个阀门，用于在关闭位置和打开位置之间进行间歇运动，在该位置，油漆进入油箱。 设置流量计以提供关于流入罐中的漆量的流量数据。 该装置还包括处理器，其基于流量数据和罐数数据，在阀的两次随后的运动之间的一段时间内，到一个且仅一个位置，影响漆通过总量的计算 时间段内的流量计和涂漆罐的总数，随后通过将总量除以总数，计算每罐的漆消耗值。
