Material Blender 100
Our WSB100 series blenders mix 2-4 materials in a continuous batching system.
Vibratory feeders meter a wide variety of materials with easily adjustable feed rates - no augers to change or slide gates to jam. Precise weighing and accurate feeding are achieved by our single load cell, batch gain in weight processing system. Materials are metered individually until an exact weight (or percentage of total batch) is achieved. This weight is accurate to +/-.02 lb. per material. In fact, when compared to Conair and Maguire blenders by Plastics Product Review ®, the L-R blender "exhibited the best additive accuracy" in the three component test and "had the lowest standard deviation in additive weight (consistency)" in the two component tests.
After all ingredients have been accurately metered into our weigh hopper by any of up to 99 stored recipes, the batch is automatically dumped into our efficient mixing barrel - a key element in your final blend. All batch weights are stored for later retrieval of material usage information.
Our large (two batch capacity) mixing barrel is designed to give a truly homogenous blend with first in/first out material flow. This often overlooked element of material blending is the real key to your process. A simple scale can weigh your materials, but how well does your blender disburse your ingredients through your blend? It's no wonder why America's top thin wall blow molders choose L-R Systems as their equipment specialists.
L-R Systems WSB100 series blenders are typically dedicated to a single machine or process line, but Duplex (two - two component blenders) and Triplex (three - two component blenders) models are available for applications where space is a concern.
All WSB100 series blenders have easily removable material hoppers for quick material change or easy cleaning. Our heavy duty steel floor mount frame is un-affected by molding machine movements or vibrations which can adversely affect your weighing process. Extremely low maintenance with very few replacement part requirements make our WSB series blenders your best choice for years of dependable service.
