Dispensing Procedures
About Dispensing
The IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) Dispensing Opera-
tion is a Loss-in-Weight instrument. The IBC Dispenser con-
troller measures the weight loss out of Super Bags, Drums,
Totes or Gaylord Bulk Bins, until the pre-set, Target Weight
has been reached. The IBC Dispenser controller then stops
dispensing and automatically goes to a wait condition, wait-
ing for the next container to be positioned. Once the new
container is in the correct position the IBC Dispenser begins
the process over again. The Hardy Filler/Dispenser/IBC
enables both single speed and dual speed IBC dispensing
modes of operation.
Getting Started
Before operating the Hardy HI 3010 Filler/Dispenser/IBC,
check to make sure the following procedures have been per-
formed:
• Power and Load Point cables properly
installed.
• Communication cables properly installed.

All the features of the Filler/Dispenser/IBC operate the same
no matter what the interface. First let’s get familiar with
operating the Filler/Dispenser/IBC from the front panel of
the instrument. (See Fig. 5-1)
