Process Control has recently shipped a 9 Element Continuous Gravimetric Blending System including 4 Regrind Hopper Feeders (2 equipped with bridge breakers), 3 Powder Feeders and 2 Pellet Feeder Elements. The system uses state of the art, non-proprietary Touch Screen Controls, Brushless Motors and Drives. Rounding out this unique blending solution is the PCC Material Handling System which includes a Vacuum Pump, Dust Collector, Standard Powder Receivers for Dusty Regrind, and Special Powder Receiver with 70 Degree Cone and 5” Flapper Discharge.
PCC has released a new piece of literature on the next iteration of our X Series Continuous Gravimetric Blender. The X Series 2 comes standard with color touch screen controls as well as brushless DC motors and drives. To view specifications for this product, click here to view the X Series 2 cut sheet.
A 5kg Guardian Series 2 Batch Blender with 8 material hoppers is ready to be shipped out from our headquarters in Atlanta, GA.
The blender also features restricted cartridge gates for ingredients below 1%. Restricted cartridge gates provide increased accuracy for component percentages below 1% by reducing the gate discharge area. As the gate retracts the amount of material released into the weigh hopper is limited by this reduced area which provides more precise control and results in a better blend and cost reduction by eliminating excessive amounts of expensive additives.

Last month we gave an update on a special order of Guardian Series 2 Batch Blenders going through production. As we continue to track their progress, we now find that the special touch screen enclosures are nearing completion.
The enclosure for the touch screen control, mounted on each blender, has been engineered for extreme ambient conditions including 131 degrees F (55C), using a dual door concept and thermoelectric cooler. In addition, a remote touch screen panel with embedded windows operating system utilizing VNC and wireless technology, also equipped for high temperature conditions, will be remotely mounted and equipped to display and control up to eleven blenders, displaying up to four blender screen simultaneously.
PCC has updated its gravimetric blending brochure to reflect the changes that have been made to our batch and continuous blenders. Inside you will find detailed information about each type of blending system, including equipment diagrams, installation configuration, blending features, controls, upgrades, and complimentary systems.
