ProRate™/Gravimetric Continuous Blenders
Consisting of one to eight feeders and a central microprocessor based controller, the ProRate/Gravimetric Feeder continuously meters raw materials accurately into a central station hopper.
Capacities:
- ProRate I/Gravimetric feeder designed with selection of five interchangeable auger sizes, allowing for varying capacities up to 1,175 pounds per hour.
-
ProRate II/Gravimetric feeder designed with 3-inch diameter auger providing high capacity feeding up to 3,500 pounds per hour.
Features:
- Cylindrically hoppers with a 60° cone to assure fast material discharge.
- High performance load cell assembly with a nominal 12-inch base frame provides an accurate weigh signal to the controller.
- Center station 4-position and 8 Position bases are available. They are designed for use with either the ProRate I/Gravimetric feeders or high-volume ProRate II/Gravimetric feeders
- Modular scale platform assemblies provide support by two legs, with adjustable leveling bolts, and bolt-on attachment to the base station.
-
Continuous loss-in-weight controller is a multimode, microprocessor based, process weight controller.
Gravimetric Batch Blenders: Available in 2.5KG, 5KG and 12KG sizes.
Each of the materials are dispensed sequentially into a common weighing hopper in the desired proportions. The weighed materials are then released into a separate mixing chamber which provides the most consistent homogeneous blend of any batch type blender.
Features:
- Ingredient accuracy of +/- 0.02% per batch at highest accuracy setting
- Integral loading platform for mounting vacuum receivers
- Clean-out system to facilitate quick and easy product changeovers
- Attached air hose and nozzle for cleaning
- Fast acting V-gate valve on each ingredient hopper
- Support for a wide variety of communications protocols
- Inventory of entire blender and each individual hopper
