Options
The following is a list of options, which your blender may have been equipped with:
Regrind Auger Metering (RAM). Used for feeding difficult regrind materials.
Low Level Sensors. Detects material supply problems before blender runs out.
Remote Touch Screen Interface. Allows control of blender from a second location up to 50
feet (30 meters) away.
Mezzanine & Floor Stands. Supports blenders in mezzanine mount and freestanding
applications.
Take-off Compartments. Allows material to be metered into a vacuum conveying system.
CL-25 Pneumatic Loader for Additives. Compressed air loader to load low percentage
additives into the blender.
Remote Touch Screen
Note: The Remote Touch Screen option provides a second operator control.
This section describes the optional Remote Touch Screen. It is useful in situations when the
access to the control panel is difficult or limited. This remote control panel may be located up
to 50 cable feet away from the blender control panel. (Note: a signal amplifier may be
required for long distances. Consult factory with actual application.)
The remote interface provides the operator with all the functions of the standard Slide
Gate/Auger blender control panel. The keypad and display are identical to the blender panel.
Every Slide Gate/Auger blender panel includes a remote interface connection, and simply
plugs into the appropriate connector. The remote touch screen is an option and is not included
with the standard blender.
Pneumatic Slide Gate Below Mixer
The Slide Gate/Auger blending system can be equipped with an optional pneumatic slide gate
below the mixing chamber. The gate is used in applications when the blender is mounted
above a large hopper, or for gaylord filling, etc. This gate holds the material in the mixing
section, to ensure that it is properly mixed. Control of the mixer function is described below,
and is determined by the position of the "knife gate switch" located on the side of the back
control panel.
