Simplicity
Gravimetric Blender
The SIMPLICITY continuous gravimetric blender is an innovation that far surpasses
today's technology. Easy to install, configure, operate, and maintain, the SIMPLICITY
gravimetric resin blender uses industry proven off-the-shelf components like maintenance
free vibratory feeders. Utilizing loss-in-weigh technology, all component ingredients are
weighed and metered simultaneously, eliminating the need for mechanical mixing, while
consistently producing the desired blend. These continuous gravimetric resin blenders
provide a "just in time blend" and typically sit on an extruder throat or on a mezzanine
above the extruder. Additional options for mounting are discussed below. The rate of the
blender is determined automatically by the process weight consumption. This solution offers
extremely accurate real time throughput/yield control. A color touch screen provides the
operator an easy to use interface with built in help screens. The PLC based control is highly
accurate and reliable to assure total system functionality and integration, and is far superior
to industry standard proprietary controls.
This system offers higher accuracies, near perfect blend homogeneity, a larger initial
investment, and a lower cost of ownership**
