Gravimetric batch blender for precise material handling
Achieve precision in blending complex regrind materials and polymers with this reliable gravimetric solution, ensuring consistent and accurate material mixes for your production processes.
Blends and Meters Regrind and Polymer Compounds
The OA Series Gravimetric Batch Blender, featured by AEC, excels in precisely metering and blending regrind materials and challenging-to-meter polymers. This blender uses precise auger metering and cantilever load cells to ensure span-accurate batch control. Perfect for producing recycled PET flakes, polypropylene copolymer blends, and other engineering plastic composites, it integrates seamlessly into your production line with PLC-based controls and a touch-screen interface. The OA Series streamlines operations with a constant speed AC gearmotor, while optional variable speed DC motors enhance adaptability. Safety interlocks and convenient clean-out features ensure efficient operations and maintenance. Customizable with options like stainless steel hoppers and agitation gear motors, the OA Series supports a wide range of plastic manufacturing and material processing needs.
