Accumeter® Continuous-Loss-In-Weight Blender

The material flow is constantly monitored; any changes in properties, i.e. bulk density, pellet size, etc. are compensated for, and have no affect on the accuracy of the blended material.

The AccuMeter® Series mass flow weigh hopper learns the extruder rate, continuously sending the data to the Allen-Bradley control system. The material feed rates automatically adjust to match the extruder rate in order to maintain a consistent blend into the extruder throat. The system can be set up to flood feed or starve feed, and can accommodate most extrusion processes.

The Allen-Bradley control system consists of a COMPACTLOGIXTM programmable controller and PanelView Plus color touch screen interface.

The off-the-shelf programmable controller provides reliability and a large support network.

The PanelView Plus CE 1000 10.5 in. color touch screen interface features a compact, flat-panel design. Using the latest operator interface technology, it is optimized for value and ease of use.
