Raw Material and Time Savings

The Integrated Gravimetric Blender and Extruder is a combined gravimetric blender and gravimetric extruder throughput controller in one compact device. The Gravimetric Blender combines the features and benefits of the MiniBlend and GravEx in one unit.
The Blender and Extruder is the most economical solution for gravimetric blending and throughput control for a single or multiple extruders.
The Blender and Extruder is ideal for lines where the alternative blender mounting options of mezzanine or floor mount are not practical.
Being based on the MiniBlend gravimetric blender, all material is fully mixed prior to being released into the throughput control weigh hopper. This eliminates the weighing errors which occur in systems with mixers in the weigh hopper.
The range is available in capacities of 150, 300 and 600 kg/hr, with up to 8 components. Higher capacities available on request.
Existing Blender and Extruders can be upgraded.

Features:
The Blender and Extruder will blend your raw materials to an accuracy of 0.1% AND control your extruded product weight to better than +/- 0.5% of target.
Automatically compensates for variations in raw material bulk density, extrusion back pressure, ambient conditions and other factors affecting blending and extrusion processes.
All the benefits of the Blender and Extruder combined in one unit, most economical solution for gravimetric blending and throughput control.
Two operator displays which have large digital display of set points and straight forward push button entry for operator settings.
Integrated adapter flange for feed throat mounting, top of blender prepared to accept hopper loaders.
