Continuous loss-in-weight blender for extrusion applications
Ensure precise ingredient ratios for extrusion processes with this continuous blender, optimizing blend consistency and reducing material wastage while seamlessly integrating into your production line.
Ensures Consistent Blending and Precise Material Weighing
The AccuMeter™ Ovation AMO Series by AEC revolutionizes your blending operation with its continuous loss-in-weight design, ideal for extrusion applications. This equipment excels by dynamically adjusting material feed rates to match your extruder’s speed, ensuring seamless blending of up to six components. Precision is achieved using cantilever load cells that provide .02% span accuracy. Designed for the plastics and packaging industries, it produces consistent plastic films, pipes, and masterbatches efficiently. Capable of processing up to 5000 pounds per hour, it integrates into existing production lines with Allen-Bradley PLC and VFD systems. Choose from various material handling configurations, benefiting from lower energy consumption thanks to advanced motor drives and precision auger metering. Its durable construction, including options for corrosion-resistant materials, ensures reliability. Optional mezzanine stands and remote control ensure easy integration and operation, with full diagnostics and inventory control enhancing operational oversight.
