This page includes information about the entire electromechanical hydraulic control system for the soil mixer. This is a variant of CEB Press Controller v19.01
Controller Requirements
- Needs to switch a double acting cylinder while running a hydraulic motor
- Needs to cycle a dc motor for cement dosing
- Water mister solenoid

| Series Circuit - 2500PSI Bypass Valve | Sequence Valve Circuit 1 Open Center Valve | Sequence Valve Circuit 2 Closed Center Valve |
|---|---|---|
| Motor gets no flow when cylinder bottoms out | 1000PSI Sequence Valve Setting | 1000PSI Sequence Valve Setting |

Using demo version of FluidSIM
| Series Circuit with three way flow controller on motor | With flow (q) and pressure (p) during the simulation |
|---|---|
| Using a pressure relief valve in the simulator as a sequence valve. | Outlet from cylinder valve is plumbed through a check valve to motor. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| high pressure remains at the pump outlet throughout simulation. something must be missing from the system or the valves aren't set right. | Increases motor flow during retraction of cylinder. Interesting effect- I didn't expect it. This circuit isn't great because pump outlet pressure is constantly above 2700psi. |
In both the above videos the setting of the two pressure relief valves changes motor speed and cylinder travel speed. I try to set it to minimize flow through main bypass valve.
