This new series of gravimetric blenders for mid-range throughput applications precisely dis- penses up to twelve materials of widely diverse types and can be configured to dose up to six major ingredients. Growing demand for the use of post- consumer content, surcharges on virgin resign and global legislative policy pro- posals & adoptions are being enforced around the globe. These new chal- lenges have plastics processors looking for economical solutions to incorporate additional materials, more diverse ma- terials and changing material content in their final product. TheWSB Series of blenders allows unmatched flexibility to handle up to 6 major components such asmultiple PCRs, Virgin or Regrind. The new Maguire® Weigh Scale Blender (WSB) 600 Series has a through- put range up to 2,500 lbs/hr and is suit- able for injection, extrusion, blowmold - ing, and central blending applications. The WSB-600 adds another model to Maguire’s robust line of Weigh Scale Blenders, which already includes over 150 configurations suited to every pro - cess and application requirement. The WSB-600 Series blenders can dis- pense up to twelve different compo- nents including pellets, powders, and liquids to poorly flowing ingredients like regrind, flake, wood flour and talc filler. Each ingredient hopper has a dis - pensing device designed for a material in a specific form. Like the larger units in theWSB family, the newblenders can be outfittedwithup to six large-compo - nent slide gates for dispensingmajor in- gredients, 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 flexibility as the 1200, 2400 and 3000 Series units for dispensing up to six large-compo - nent 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 Ma - guire 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 in - troduced the gravimetric blender in 1989. All Maguire WSBs are backed by an industry leading 5-year Warranty.
