The ExtruBlend is a combined gravimetric blender and gravimetric extruder throughput controller in one compact device. It combines the features and benefits of the MiniBlend and GravEx in one unit.
It is the most economical solution for gravimetric blending and throughput control for a single or multiple extruders.
It is ideal for lines where the alternative blender mounting options of mezzanine or floor mount are not practical.
Being based on the MiniBlend gravimetric blender, all material is fully mixed prior to being released into the throughput control weigh hopper. This eliminates the weighing errors which occur in systems with mixers in the weigh hopper.
The ExtruBlend range is available in capacities of 150, 300 and 600 kg/hr, with up to 8 components. Higher capacities available on request.
Existing MiniBlend units can be upgraded to ExtruBlend.
