The ARO Controller from Ingersoll Rand delivers touch-and-walk-away automation.

The ARO Controller from Ingersoll Rand delivers touch-and-walk-away automation. The Controller works seamlessly with ARO EXP Series Electronic Interface pumps and can be integrated with many existing ARO EXP pumps when an electronic interface package is added. The result is a fully automated, multi-pump system for batching and container and tank filling.

The ARO multi-pump Controller can be programmed with remote triggers customized to the application. The Controller responds to those triggers, performing auto-shutdowns when necessary and sending data and service alerts to the operator. Triggers can notify operators when it is time for predictive maintenance, when a leak has been identified or when liquid levels are low, for instance. Remote operation also allows for safer monitoring.

The ARO Controller introduces a closed-loop system with proprietary logic to ensure the pump is fully primed. This results in a dispensing or batching system with plus or minus one percent repeatability. The Controller also features an easy-to-use interface that is pre-programmed with eight languages, supporting the needs of a diverse workforce and global operations.

The ARO Controller can also:

  • Operate two pumps simultaneously, each with up to two batches.
  • Detect leaks.
  • Sense and respond to liquid levels.
  • Accurately control proportions.
  • Control flow rates.
