TRUEBLEND HIGH HEAT MODELS
ACCURATE
BLENDING
FOR HIGH HEAT
APPLICATIONS
TrueBlend high-temperature models allow processors running engineering plastics like ABS, nylon, polycarbonate and PET to blend
these resins after they have been dried.
Until now, processors had to blend the material before drying, but by
doing so ran the risk that some ingredients could separate out of the
mix during the drying and conveying process.
Like all TrueBlend models, the new high-heat blenders feature a fully
enclosed cabinet design assuring no pellet spillage and clean operation. Standard convenience features, such as wide access doors on
each component bin, a hinged chassis access door and removable
components in the mixing chamber reduce material waste and
downtime during clean out.

DRY AIR BLANKET PREVENTS MOISTURE REGAIN
Models 100, 250, 500 and 900, which
offer throughputs ranging from 450 to
3500 lbs/hr are available with two different high-temperature packages. One
to handle temperatures from 160° to
250°F {71° to 121°C} for materials
such as Nylons, ABS and PC. The second package handles temperature levels from 160° to 375° F {71° to
191°C}, including materials like PBT,
PET and other polyesters.
Both temperature levels are available
with an optional dry air blanket package. This option blankets the material
compartments and the mixing chamber
with dry air to prevent moisture regain
during processing.

Blend accuracy to 1/2 of 1%
Colorant and additive weights are held to within 0.5% of the requested ratio.
The control automatically calibrates after each cycle and corrects for variations
in material and dispensing.
n
Easy-to-use control
Enter the percentages of the blend using the touch screen. The blender does
the rest. The system automatically adds ingredients in the proper ratio and
maintains the correct level of material in the mix chamber.

Convenient, no-tools clean out
Electrically interlocked access doors provide fast, safe cleaning of component
bins. The weigh bin, mix blade and mix chamber slide out for easy cleaning.

A package to fit your needs
Two temperature levels are available. One for temperatures of 160° to 250°F
{71° to 121°C} with the second package covering temperatures from 160° to
375°F {71° to 191°C}. A dry air blanket option introduces dry air into the
material compartments and the mixing chamber from an external source to
prevent moisture regain.
