Advanced Bulk and Conveying, Inc., is a supplier of the extensive line of weigh scale blenders from Maguire Products. These gravimetric blenders are designed to meet the wide variety of applications and requirements within the plastics industry. All models dispense and blend all materials by weight for continuous and unfailing accuracy. Maximum blend rates range from 300 to 5,000 pounds per hour, depending on the model. Up to 12 components can be controlled.
Modular approach to design results in quick access to any part of the machine. It also permits a wide selection of user-installed blender options, should your requirements change in the future. Hopper compartments may be altered; feeders may be added; software is preprogrammed with many options for the future. These are blenders you won't outgrow, and are offered at volumetric blender prices.

How Maguire Weigh Scale Blenders Work:
Dispense Sequence:
NATURAL material is added second. This amount is
calculated to leave exactly the right amount of room for
the COLOR and ADDITIVE.
Once the NATURAL fill portion of the cycle has ended,
the exact weight of the NATURAL that has actually
dispensed is determined to detect even the smallest error.
Based on this actual weight of NATURAL material, COLOR
is then metered into the mix to the ratio requested.
ADDITIVE is now added in the same way.
All components are then dumped into the continuously
running mixing chamber.
Features:
In actual operation, color and additive is held within 1/10 of 1%
of requested ratio.
If there is not sufficient NATURAL, COLOR, or ADDITIVE materials to produce the required mix, then the process will stop and the ALARM will be activated. An insufficient quantity of REGRIND may also be programmed to sound an alarm and stop the process.
Data is continuously accumulated in a memory buffer to show
the total weights of all components that have passed through the
system. This data can be displayed upon request and cleared to zero at any time.
A computer may be added to monitor all weigh scale blenders in
the plant, accumulating through-put data and generating reports at any time. Such reports show inventory usages for each shift, each day, each machine, each work order, and operator.
The system is modular in design. Both COLOR and ADDITIVE
feeders can be added later or exchanged at any time for a larger feeder or LIQUID COLOR pump. The CONTROLLER is equipped with outlets so that all external devices plug into it. This allows
controllers to be exchanged for updating of software or
maintenance without downtime.
The weigh chamber, mix blades, and mix chamber slide out for cleaning, if necessary.
All dispense ports are visible through acrylic windows so that you may monitor the complete DISPENSE cycle visually. The mix
chamber is also clearly visible through large acrylic windows.
Maguire Products provides the most cost-effective weigh scale blenders available. In addition to very competitive pricing, they offer these advantages:
All components are blended by weight based on the setting shown on the master controller. The blending is done in batches of 2,000, 4,000, 9,000 or 18,000 grams depending on model. Each component is dispensed separately into a single weighing chamber, and then all components are dropped together into a continuous mixing chamber. The entire unit is designed to mount directly over the feed throat of the process machine. Our unique weighing method allows the blenders to operate correctly in spite of vibration and shaking.
REGRIND is dispensed first according to the percent
required. If no REGRIND or a limited amount is present,
then the portions of NATURAL, COLOR, and ADDITIVE
are increased to bring about a full batch weight.
Any errors that may have occurred in the actual weights of any
components added for a given batch are detected and compensated for on the next batch. In this way, there is a continuous process of calibration and correction, assuring extreme accuracy of the process.
