This downforce amplifier developed and patented by TSM offers further downward head pressure to the existing cramming action created by the company’s reverse flight augers which are offered on the batch blender range. The downforce amplifier ensures that material throughput and hence production speed can be maximized when processing difficult regrind materials. This latest development will not only improve material flow and mixing characteristics but also enables higher percentage regrind processing while eliminating material throat blockages.
The downforce amplifier allows the processing of even the most difficult flake regrinds by being able to cram materials into the throat of the extruder eliminating variations in flow due to bulk density variations. This technology guarantees homogenous mixing, regardless of regrind percentages, material density or material geometry.
