Blenders 900 Series Gravimetric Blenders

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Maguire Weigh Scale Blender™ (WSB) range is designed for plastics converting businesses, including extrusion, injection, and blow moulding applications. The 900 Series Gravimetric Blenders offer precise material blending with a focus on efficiency and accuracy.

Operation: Materials are dosed between 1-100% using a stainless steel slide gate. A slide gate restrictor is recommended for 1-4% dosing. The default hopper size allows for a 9000g batch. The system tares the weigh bin and dispenses materials in sequence, weighing each component before mixing. The process is automated with sensors to manage batch cycles.

Control Features: The system includes 124 standard features, such as continuous material calibration and flow rate updates for accuracy. User settings can be entered via thumbwheels or keypad, which is password protected. Alerts are provided for incomplete batches, and reports can be printed directly to a USB key. Remote access and integration with other systems are supported.

Material Compartments: Models vary by the number of hoppers, with options for 4, 5, or 6 compartments. Specific models include WSB 940, WSB 950, and WSB 960.

Features and Benefits: These blenders are ideal for large processing machines, offering reduced weight and footprint. They provide precision blending with an accuracy of ±0.1%. The design allows for easy cleaning and rapid color changes without tools. The system uses proprietary microprocessor-control technology and compensates for variations in dispense weight. Additional features include vibration weighing management and improved documentation capabilities. A 5-year warranty is included.

Technical Data: The maximum throughput varies by model, with the WSB 940 achieving 1200 to 1900 kg/h, the WSB 950 achieving 970 to 1200 kg/h, and the WSB 960 achieving 860 to 1070 kg/h. All models have a power supply of 230vac - 2.7A or 415vac - 1.1A, air consumption of 0.3 m³/hr, and a shipping weight of 218 kg. The dimensions are consistent across models at 1670 x 1400 x 800 mm.
