Compact batch blenders for feeding up to 8 ingredients in your plastics compounding process
Coperion K-Tron Gravimetric Batch Blenders dispense material sequentially into a common weighing hopper in the desired proportions. The weighed materials are then released into a separate mixing chamber, which provides a consistent homogeneous blend. They include an advanced metering and weighing system that accurately controls every ingredient of every batch to the desired amounts and is not averaged over multiple batches. The standard blenders are intended for use over an extruder inlet, where the extruder acts as the flow control.
