Gravimetric batch blender for plastics compounding
In the plastics compounding industry, achieving a consistent and homogeneous blend of multiple ingredients is crucial. Challenges often arise with maintaining precise material proportions, especially when dealing with up to eight different components.
Accurately blend up to 8 materials
The Gravimetric Batch Blender from Coperion is specifically designed for the plastics compounding process. This blender sequentially dispenses up to eight ingredients into a common weighing hopper to ensure accurate proportions. The materials are then released into a mixing chamber, resulting in a consistent and homogeneous blend. The advanced metering and weighing system of the Gravimetric Batch Blender ensures ingredient accuracy of +/- 0.02% per batch. This system features a robust design made of 11-gauge steel, an intuitive color touchscreen, and integrated loading platforms for material loaders or vacuum receivers. It is ideal for use over an extruder inlet, where the extruder controls the flow. The Gravimetric Batch Blender is compatible with Coperion K-Tron twin screw feeders for handling difficult powder additives, making it versatile for various demanding applications.
