Gravimetric blenders

The loss in weight gravimetric blenders provide a dosing solution for blending and extrusion control for up to 7 components and up to 3,000kg/hr. They provide continuous throughput measurement, and maintain the extruder throughput at the desired level, i.e. Kg/hr control. Haul off speed measurement can be added to ensure that the weight per length is controlled to the desired specification (yield control). This ensures that the product being produced is maintained at the desired thickness without operator intervention. The user-friendly touch screen control panel provides intuitive text prompts, the operator can view material weights and kg/h throughput, and alarm incidents which are time and date stamped. The electronics design allows for rapid weight loss measurement allowing the blender to react to any change in line speed or screw speed. The blockage/ stall feature will detect a stalled screw or material blockage while an encoder will provide instantaneous dosing screw speed data.
