Special “Hopperless” Blender Design for Height Restrictions

For Guardian 2 batch blending applications with severe height restrictions, as typically seen when the blender is mounted directly to the processing machine, PCC offers a design without the material hoppers.  The top of the blender frame, with metering gates, allows for a custom adaption plate to provide connection to the material supply hoppers and loading equipment, typically mounted above on a mezzanine.

This hopperless design is currently available on our 2.5, 5 and 12 kg G2 blender models.  This design feature helps outline PCC’s commitment to provide our customers custom engineered solutions to meet specific needs.

Completed ASR (Automatic Scrap Recycling) System – Part 1

Process Control Corporation (PCC) just completed an ASR (Automated Scrap Recovery) System featuring three 20HP Inducers, equipped with its trademark adjustable venture design that provides higher induced air to primary air ratio than conventional systems. The trim pickup manifolds are designed for up to 16 bleeds, 2 edge and 1 center trim. Trims are conveyed to a 100HP thin film grinder equipped with a roll feed allowing additional scrap to enter the system. The ground scrap is then blown to a cyclone feeding an extruder mounted RMX refeed machine. The PCC refeed machine’s unique design provides a consistent column of compacted ground scrap surrounded by virgin material to the extruder.

Continuous Blender with Powder and Regrind Hoppers

Process Control GmbH (PCC’s German subsidiary) currently has a special six element continuous blender going through production. Three hoppers on the blender are for powder material and the other three are fed with regrind.  The powder feeders are installed on a slide base that can be easily removed for cleaning purposes.  There is also a separate base for feeding powders to a side feeder.  The small base for the single powder feeder has a turnable upper plate so that the feeder can be set to both of the side feeders on the extruder.
