Growing demand for the use of post-consumer content, surcharges on virgin resign and global legislative policy proposals & adoptions are being enforced around the globe. These new challenges have plastics processors looking for economical solutions to incorporate additional materials, more diverse materials and changing material content in their final product. The WSB Series of blenders allows unmatched flexibility to handle up to 6 major components such as multiple PCRs, Virgin or Regrind.
The new Maguire® Weigh Scale Blender (WSB) 600 Series has a throughput range up to 2,500 lbs/hr and is suitable for injection, extrusion, blow molding, and central blending applications. The WSB-600 adds another model to Maguire’s robust line of Weigh Scale Blenders, which already includes over 150 configurationssuited to every process and application requirement.
The WSB-600 Series blenders can dispense up to twelve different components including pellets, powders, and liquids to poorly flowing ingredients like regrind, flake, wood flour and talc filler. Each ingredient hopper has a dispensing device designed for a material in a specific form. Like the larger units in the WSB family, the new blenders can be outfitted with up to six large-component slide gates for dispensing major ingredients, along with any combination of large corner valves (11,000 g/sec), 4-inch vertical valves (2,000 g/sec), 2-inch vertical valves (400 g/sec), auger feeders, and liquid color pumps.
“By providing the same flexibilityas the 1200, 2400 and 3000 Series units for dispensing up to six large-component ingredients, the WSB-600 Series blenders enable processors working in a somewhat smaller throughput range to meet growing demand for products that incorporate regrind and PCR along with virgin resin,” said Frank Kavanagh, Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “And like all Maguire blenders across the throughput range, the 600 Series WSBs provide batch-to-batch accuracy of 0.1%.”
Maguire has an installed base of well over 60,000 WSBs since it first introduced the gravimetric blender in 1989.All Maguire WSBs are backed by an industry leading 5-year Warranty.
The WSB-600 Series blenders can dispense as many as twelve batch ingredients, from pellets, powders, and liquids to poorly flowing ingredients like regrind, flake, wood flour and talc filler.
