Gravimetric batch blender for injection molding and extrusion
Enhance your polymer blending precision with a solution tailored for demanding applications, ensuring every batch meets the highest standards of consistency and accuracy while minimizing material waste.
Ensures Precise Gravimetric Mixing and Blending
The BD Series Gravimetric Batch Weigh Blender from AEC sets a new benchmark in precision mixing and blending, critical for industries such as plastics, injection molding, and extrusion. This blender utilizes quick-acting diamond slide gates and a unique mix chamber design to ensure unmatched consistency in material compounding. Ideal for creating end-products like PET bottles and nylon gears, it processes granules with precision, reducing material waste through its cantilever load cell weigh system. Its ergonomically-designed interface features a 7″ high-resolution touchscreen with Ethernet connectivity, allowing for remote monitoring and integration with SCADA systems. The system’s modular design accommodates up to eight components and features stainless steel supply hoppers, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. Maintenance is seamless with tool-free cleaning and an interlocked safety system, while an optional Quick Ship program accelerates delivery. Able to operate efficiently under rigorous conditions, the BD Series promises reliability and easy integration in smart manufacturing environments.
