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

Using demo version of FluidSIM

Series Circuits
Series Circuit with three way flow controller on motor With flow (q) and pressure (p) during the simulation
Sequence Valve Circuits
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.
