MAGUIRE WSB 140MP Micro Plus Blender Product Technical Data Sheet Design The Maguire Weigh Scale Blender™ (WSB) range of gravimetric batch blenders are for all plastics converting businesses for all types of extrusion applications, and also all Injection and Blow Moulding applications. The WSB MP Blender consists of 4 removable hoppers fitted with materials dispense valves for metering all materials. Operation The Dispense Valves available are as follows; Corner Valve – high flow slide gate valve designed for poor flowing materials, 1” Pivot Valve designed Control to dispense free flowing granules, and Carousel The WSB Controller comes packed with standard Valve – slower operating dispense valve designed features and functions that are unparalleled in for very small settings between 0.2% to 1.0%. the industry.

The complete batch is released into the mixing chamber, and mixed with the previous batch to ensure a homogenous mix. Material blending is controlled by a level sensor mounted in the upper part of the mix chamber. When the sensor is covered the blender will not dispense any further batches. The level of material in the mix chamber is critical to good mixing. As material in the mix chamber is consumed the sensor is uncovered and then the blender then commences the next cycle. For special functions these can be easily accessed and set via the password protected keypad. There is audible alarm and strobe light with silence function, should a batch be incomplete. Setup and Operation reports can be printed direct to a USB key. Data is also available allowing remote access and monitoring to download settings and check job progress. Integration to other control or ERP systems can be made by leading fieldbuses or OPC interfaces.
