• desiccant-free, compressed air drying providing up to -40° F drying without moving parts or regular maintenance
• patented recirculation loop will dry most 4-hour resins in 3 hours and provides dry air in minutes instead of hours
• a dry/convey package is available providing a machine mount JIT receiver and hopper loader
• no need to pre-dry the air for -40° F operation
• no need for cooling coils for high and low resin processing temperatures

• vacuum drying technology to provide accelerated pellet and regrind drying without the use of desiccant
• integrated drying unit includes multiple chambers that are simultaneously filled, heated, vacuumed to remove moisture and finally discharged to process--all controlled automatically by the control
• no need for separate drying hopper
• dry/convey option available including a machine-mounted JIT receiver and machine loader

Data Sheet (636kb)

• reliable, modern desiccant wheel drying technology
• employ a single desiccated honeycomb cartridge that continuously rotates through process, regeneration and cooling cycles
• smaller footprint and fewer moving parts than traditional desiccant drying systems
• flow switch on the blowers and over-temperature switch on the heaters to ensure the system is running properly
• processing temperatures up to 350° F with cooling coil is standard
• chain drive system insures consistent resin processing conditions
• accurate and adjustable dew point performance
• microprocessor control is standard--NovaTouch touch screen control optional

• offers pneumatic valves operating in conjunction with advanced software to deliver actual batch accuracy of (0.1%)
• includes the unique Micro-Pulse technology, which virtually eliminates the need for augers to achieve accuracy when dispensing minor ingredients;  Micro-Pulse gives you the capability of dispensing as few as 2 or 3 pellets per pulse cycle
• totally pneumatic system eliminates motors which reduces the weight of the blender to 50 lb. (22.7 kg); The unit is just under 2 feet high and has a 6 in. x 6 in. footprint
• each of the 4 removable bins contains a pneumatic quick disconnect for fast removal, cleaning, and replacement when changing colors of materials
• weigh pan and mix chamber are easily accessed through a removable door - mix chamber agitator is permanently attached to the door and uncouples from the drive mechanism when the door is removed which renders the agitator inoperable when the machine is opened and eliminates the need for electrical interlocks
• proprietary technology eliminates false load cell readings caused by machine shock or vibration, a critical feature when the blender is mounted on a fast cycling molding machine
• blender can be linked with the materials management software for expanded control and reporting capabilities

Data Sheet (539kb)

• practical and affordable means for molders and extruders with small processing equipment to blend color or additives with extremely high precision
• unit weighs and blends up to four components at rates up to 450 lbs/hr (204 kg/hr)
• Micro-Pulse™ metering device with a unique slide gate apparatus attached to a pneumatic cylinder with a very short (0.125 in.) stroke; cylinder is rapidly and sequentially pulsed up to 20 times per second during dispensing of the ingredient, permitting very precise total doses
• self-calibrating, never needs adjustment for accuracy, and achieves an overall precision of 0.1% of specified blend
• proprietary microprocessor-control technology monitors and confirms the individual weight of each material component (natural, regrind, color, and additive); any variation that may have occurred in the actual weights of any components is detected and compensated for
• the 100R series blender includes a two-compartment stationary bin for natural resin and regrind, along with two smaller removable bins a huge benefit for processors with frequent product or color changes which could easily and quickly empty and refill the removable bins

Data Sheet for WSB-140R (519kb)

• can be applied to meet the requirements of a variety of blending applications
• throughputs up to 900 lb/hr (400 kg/hr), these models have the flexibility to be applied on-the-throat for medium sized throughput applications, next to the machine for easy access or on a specialized stand for central blending
• these models have the capability of blending up to 8 components and are available with lightweight removable hoppers for fast, easy cleanout
