The
TrueBlend TB45 series blenders offer small extruders and
small tonnage injection molding machines a superior way
to blend color and additives centrally or at the throat
of the processing machine.
The blender dispenses up to four
materials from respective material compartments into a common
weigh chamber. The control determines the correct weight of each
ingredient based on set points entered on the touch screen
display. Up to 50 recipes can be entered and stored in the
processor.
Unique fast-acting "no stick"
vertical valves control the amount of material dispensed. All
dispense valves use two-way air cylinders assuring positive
operation.
Choose between throat mounted or
central blender models. Options include an integrated
blender/loader control feature, and an addition of a flow
control valve for central blending applications.
- Blend accuracy to
1/2 of 1%
Colorant and/or additive weights are held to within 0.5% of
setting. A selectable Precision Additive™ feature is also
available for additives. The microprocessor control
automatically calibrates after every cycle and compensates for
variations in dispense method, resin bulk density or particle
geometry.
- Easy to use control
New intuitive 5.7 inch LCD touch screen control with full
color graphics allows quick and easy setup of blender
setpoints. All setpoints are displayed simultaneously. Enter
the percentages of the blend on the touch screen display and
the blender does the rest. The system automatically weighs the
recipe ingredients in the proper sequence and maintains the
correct blend relationship. Any position can be identified as
one of the four material type selections adding flexibility to
your application setup.
- Convenient, easy
clean out
Easy access to all material contact points for fast and safe
cleaning during color or resin changes. Quick access material
compartment bins, a removable weigh bin, mix agitator and mix
chamber liner allow quick efficient cleaning. The blender
features a built-in material shutoff valve below the mixing
chamber, this can be replaced with the automatic flow control
valve for remote and central blending applications.
