Advantages of Gravimax blenders
Highly precise dosing valves
Ingredient values entered asratioor in % via touch-screen.
Changing recipes without stopping. Material data base, progress display. Storageof500recipesnventory reports.
Preset batch count.
Simple operation
Unique flow-valves made from stainless steel for high abrasivewear applicationsare extremely fast,efficient and consistently reliable.Major ingredients and additives are precisely dosed to the desired set point.
Interchangeablesteel hoppers
Self-closing valvemechanismofferseasy cleaning and color change.The hopper is specially designed with no flow restricting or bridging parts in the hopper.Two convenient handles allow safe and easy material hopper handling.
"Clip-on"corner window
Unique"clip-on”corner windowprovides fullviewformaterial inspection.The corner windowdetachesquicklyforsimpler and easiercleaning accesscompared to other blender designs.
Easilyremovableweighbin
Two weigh cell slide bars and a 60° dischargeanglegeometryprovidecomplete emptying aftereachbatch.Theself-closing dischargeflapmechanismpreventsrelease ofmaterialfrom theweighbinin the event of pressure loss.
Uniformmaterialblending
Highly efficient spiral mixer provides a ho mogeneous materialblend and allowsfor easycleaning.Thehemisphericalgeometry of the spiralmixer guarantees nodead spots or material hang-up.
RTLS Technology Material savings reduce cost
A unique2-stagemeteringmethodachievesthemostprecise despensingforbatch-to-batch consistency and accuracy. Thisis accomplishedbyusing progressivelysmallerdispensing algorithmstoapproachthetargetweight.Onlyonestandard highprecisionvalveis used forpellets,regrind,additives.
Batch-to-batch accuracy meansno overuse of highcostresins,optimizingthematerialconsumptionfortheproductrequirement. Every batch is consistent and to the desired formula.No"hunting" or statistical averaging to achieve the required target.
Step 2:Fine pulsing Controlled highfrequency dispensing precisely to target.
Where do the savings come from?
By ensuringbatch-to-batch accuracybymeansof RTLS (RealTimeLiveScale)technologytheoperatorcanset thepercentagestotherequiredminimumlevel.Ascompetitiveblendingmethods areconstantlyoverdosing and underdosingtheminimumneeds tobe set to allow any underdosedbatch to still be at the requested percentage.
This results in overdosing all otherbatchessometimes evensignificantly,causingtremendousexcessmaterial usage.RTLS can pay for itself in just a couple of months!
