Continuous Loss-in-Weight Blenders Chapter 3: Installation 27
3-4 Pneumatic Installation
The blending system utilizes air pneumatics to perform the re-fill function on the ingredient
weigh hoppers.
The manufacturer provides all pneumatic plumbing to a single ¼” standard pipe thread
fitting. The blender requires a maximum of 60 PSI of compressed air.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the air is CLEAN, DRY & LUBRICATED.
Any component failures due to airborne contaminants will not be subject to warranty
consideration.
The working range of the air pressure is from 40-60 PSI. PSI lower than 40 may result in
shutoff valve failure. PSI greater than 60 may result in damage to the plunger cones in the re-
fill hoppers. A 5 micron filter is recommended.
Note: It is the customer’s responsibility to provide proper air pressure regulation,
filtration, and lubrication devices.
