ANCILLARY EQUIPMENTAsphalt Plant Control Systems

Parker control systems have been developed in both touchscreen and PC models.

The standard Parker RTS asphalt control system is based around a powerful industrial PLC interface, linked to a robust touchscreen terminal with an easy to use large daylight readable display. The operator can select from multiple languages, unlimited mix recipes and view an animated plant mimic for live information status.
