Get accurate blends, better mixing, faster material changes
and increased profits with Conair's TrueBlend Series Blenders.
Steep-sided material compartments allow resin to flow evenly
and freely through vertical dispense valves into the weigh
chamber. Efficient mixing assures full integration of all recipe
ingredients. Fully enclosed cabinet design assures no pellet
spillage and clean operation. Standard convenient features
such as quick access material compartment bins, a hinged
chassis access door and removable components in the mixing
chamber reduce downtime during cleanout.

THROUGHPUT RATES TO 175 POUNDS AN HOUR
The TrueBlend TB45 series blenders offer
small extruders and small tonnage injection molding machines a superior way to
blend color and additives centrally or at
the throat of the processing machine.

■

The blender dispenses up to four
materials from respective material compartments into a common weigh chamber. The control determines the correct
weight of each ingredient based on setpoints entered on the touch screen display. Up to 1000 recipes and 250 resin
names can be entered and stored in the
processor.

■

Unique fast-acting "no stick" vertical
valves control the amount of material
dispensed. All dispense valves use twoway air cylinders assuring positive operation.
Choose between throat mounted or central blender models. Options include an
integrated blender/loader control feature,
and a flow control valve for central
blending applications.

Blend accuracy to 1/2 of 1%
Colorant and/or additive weights are held to within 0.5% of setting. A selectable
Precision Additive feature is also available for additives. The microprocessor
control automatically calibrates after every cycle and compensates for variations
in dispense method, resin bulk density or particle geometry.

or resin changes. Quick access material compartment bins, a removable weigh
