EXTRUSION CONTROL PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF MATERIAL THROUGHPUT Engineered as part of the Conair TrueWeigh Gravimetric Extrusion Control System, the TrueWeigh hopper measures the mass flow of material into the extrusion process and sends this loss-inweight information to the TrueWeigh controller. The controller then accurately monitors or adjusts the extruder screw RPM and/or haul-off RPM to maintain a consistent yield control. This enables an operator to run a uniform product within the tightest tolerances at the lowest possible cost. ACCURATELY MEASURES EXTRUDER RATE BY WEIGHT Mounting directly to the extruder throat, the TrueWeigh hopper includes the weigh electronics and load cell required to precisely measure the extruder’s material throughput. The “floating” weigh hopper is cantilevered off the load cell and is contained within a heavy-duty frame. Three (3) hopper sizes are available for throughput rates from 10 to 5,000 lbs/hr {4.5 to 2268 kg/hr}. The hoppers include a 60 degree bottom cone for constant plug flow to optimize blend integrity through the weigh hopper. The steep wall hopper works well with any combination of free-flowing pellet, flake, regrind and free-flowing powder or granular materials. A clear polycarbonate inspection/clean-out door or sight glass allows at-a-glance visual inspection of the hopper contents. Ease of installation TrueWeigh hoppers are supplied with sub-plates for direct connection to the extruder feed throat. Supplied as a blank, the sub-plate eliminates the need for feed throat detailing prior to installation. Simply measure and drill the matching feed throat bolt pattern, fasten the sub-plate in place and mount the hopper. No additional support is needed. Optional custom mounting adaptors are also available. Integral loading support platform TrueWeigh standard loading options accommodate Conair positive slide gates with vacuum receivers, surge hoppers, stub, or blending systems. Custom adapters are available to accommodate non-Conair loading equipment. TrueBlend integration The TrueWeigh hopper can be used in conjunction with a TrueBlend Gravimetric Batch Blending System. The largest hopper can support up to a TB900 with loaders with no additional support requi
