What is a Gravimetric blender

Gravimetric blender are used in the injection and extrusion industries. This is an automatic equipment that can automatically weigh and automatically mix various raw materials that need to be mixed in precise proportions. This is a mechanical device that integrates weighing, metering and mixing functions. The Gravimetric batch blender will weigh the raw materials proportionally by weighing and measuring the degree, and then enter the mixing tank for raw material processing. High-speed impact and dispersion can achieve rapid mixing, dispersion and refinement of functional and efficient equipment. The measurement can be accurate to particles, and the mixing accuracy can be as high as ±0.1%. One equipment adopts PLC controller, which can mix multiple raw materials at the same time after accurate weighing and mixing. It has advanced batching algorithm, excellent production performance, automatic alarm and error correction function, stable operation, safe and reliable comprehensive technical characteristics.
