Process Control's gravimetric batch blender is designed to produce accurate material blends by weight for off-line or less demanding applications. Each ingredient is contained in a separate material hopper clustered around a central weigh hopper. The operator enters the desired blend percentages into the operator station. The main ingredient is dispensed by a valve into the weigh hopper and the target weights for each additive ingredient are calculated. Each additive is metered one-at-a-time by vibratory feeders until the target weight gain is seen. This repeats until all of the ingredients have been metered into the weigh hopper. At this point, the materials drop into a mixer which thoroughly homogenizes the material. At the end of the mix cycle, the blend is available for the process.
