GRAVIMETRIC BLENDERS TRUEWEIGH CONTINUOUS BLENDERS CONTINUOUS BLENDING IN EXACT, PRECISE RATIOS TrueWeigh Continuous Blenders provide extremely precise loss-inweight dispensing of dry solids of various size and bulk densities including pellet, regrind, micro-bead and powder. These highly consistent and repeatable blenders are ideally suited to extrusion processes that require perfect blend homogeneity and extremely accurate dosing. Designed for extrusion rates to 3,000 lb/hr {1,360 kg/hr}, TWB Blenders are available with up to six component positions. PERFECT MULTI-COMPONENT HOMOGENOUS BLEND TrueWeigh Continuous Gravimetric Blenders consist of a series of loss-inweight material hoppers symmetrically located above a cascade mixing chamber to simultaneously and homogeneously meter all components within a recipe. The system incorporates an extruder throat-mounted weigh hopper which can be supplied as part of the blender or sourced independently. The weigh hopper measures the blended material feed rate and sends that information to the PLC control for monitoring and reporting. All component hopper-feeder assemblies are mounted on individual single-point contact load cells and are supplied with quick-release, variable speed synchronous motors and configured to accept a range of interchangeable feed augers designed to accommodate specific material shape and flow characteristics. Feeders are inclined for more consistent output and to accommodate fast material drain-out. Accuracy to +/- 0.5% of set point The PLC-based control holds each component to +/- 0.5% of its set point. The control uses a proprietary learning algorithm that simultaneously monitors and adjusts each feeder for material flow and bulk density changes. Homogenously blend dissimilar materials Easily and accurately blend virgin pellets, free flowing powders, regrinds, granules, flakes, concentrates and additives. Each component is simultaneously metered through material-specific feed augers. A conical cascade static mixer integrates the materials and eliminates separation caused by ledge or step type cascades. Add-on extrusion yield control The blender PLC readily communicates with an extruder through an optional drive card to provide yield control. Add an encoder and haul-off drive control card and you can control line speed and product weight-per-length to +/- 0.5% of target set poi

GRAVIMETRIC BLENDERS TRUEWEIGH CONTINUOUS BLENDERS HOW IT WORKS WITH EXTRUSION CONTROL TrueWeigh Continuous Blenders can control the extrusion process, as well as gravimetrically blend material. Throughput and haul-off control options allow you to: - Monitor or control extruder throughput. - Monitor or control haul-off. - Monitor and control line haul-off and extruder throughput to provide yield control. Line control options include weight-per-length, weight-per-area and thickness; all as functions of length or weight-per-time. TrueWeigh Continuous Blenders can control one mono-extrusion...
