Continuous blender handles dissimilar ingredients

摘要

The cascade mixing technol- ogy used in the new True-Weigh continuous blender from The Conair Group is designed to give a more homogeneous blend, even when additives need to be dosed in very small quanti- ties, making the unit well-suited for extrusion applications where an accurate blend of dissimilar ingredients is critical. The new blenders can be configured to handle from two to six different components in total throughput ranges of up to 700 lb/hr (320 kg/hr) or up to 3,000 lb/hr (1,365 kg/hr). Ingredient hoppers and dispensing augers can be sized to deliver any amount up to the maximum or as little as % lb/hr (115 gm/hr), with metering accuracy within one-half per cent of setpoint, depending on the material.
