Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details various blending and feeding equipment for industries such as plastics, food, chemical, and pharmaceuticals. It includes information on gravimetric and volumetric feeders, continuous loss-in-weight blenders, and film scrap reclaim systems.
DD Series Digital Dosing System: This system is designed for precise feeding in processes like injection molding and extrusion. It features a disc-style feeder module, P-W-M variable speed drive, and a quick disconnect additive hopper for easy cleaning.
Precision AF Series Additive Feeder: Known for its accuracy and reliability, this feeder meters color concentrate and other additives. It has a modular design, closed-loop motor control, and interchangeable stainless steel augers.
AF-1000 Gravimetric Additive Feeder: This compact feeder accurately meters additives and tracks material usage, featuring a powerful DC motor, user-friendly display, and advanced feed-rate algorithm.
Gravimetric Batch Blenders: The BD and OA Series offer user-friendly controls and precise blending. The BD Series includes a RedLion touch screen and dual precision load cell weighing system, while the OA Series is suitable for blending multiple components with interchangeable auger assemblies.
Continuous Loss-in-Weight Feeding: The GH-F Series gravimetric feeder and AccuMeter® Series blenders provide precise material blending and feeding, featuring advanced control systems and load cells for accurate material usage tracking.
Film Scrap Reclaim Systems: These systems reduce material usage and cost, including complete material handling systems and innovative scrap handling solutions.
Key Specifications: Detailed tables provide specifications for various models, including dimensions, weight, and throughput rates, helping users select appropriate equipment.
Mixing and Motor Specifications: The document highlights AEC's mixing systems, using DC motors in TE units and inverter duty AC motors in TFH units for consistent extruder screw pressure and improved gauge control.
Fluff Feed System: AEC's fluff feed hoppers reintroduce fluff into the extruder throat. TE units are for edge trim re-feed, while TFH units handle up to 30% edge trim and scrap, with TFH-HP models accommodating more than 30%.
High-Performance TFH-HP Models: Equipped with vertical feed augers, heavy-duty re-feed pedestals, brushless AC flux vector drive motors, and programmable auto restart features for maximum fluff re-feed.
Film Scrap Reclaim Systems: The VI Series edge trim conveying systems transport edge trim to grinders, with options for dual inlet edge trim air exhausters and sound enclosures for blowers.
Film Grinders: AEC's film grinders handle various materials with dual-stage designs for efficient processing, featuring heavy-duty cutting chambers and safety features like clear windows for process monitoring.
Fluff Tanks: The FT Series agitated fluff storage tanks have heavy-duty agitators and variable-speed metering augers for difficult materials, including safety features like high-level switches and cleanout access doors.
Blending System Installations: The document mentions DD feeder dosing modules for quick color changes and BD Series batch blenders for supplying blended material to molding machines.
Contact Information: Contact details are provided for AEC's manufacturing facility in New Berlin, administrative headquarters in Schaumburg, and offices in Warsaw and Suzhou.
