SGB Batch Blender with Mitsubishi Controller Page 19 of 118
1-11-5 Mix Chamber
All of the Sterling batch blenders are equipped with an integral mix
chamber. The mix chamber holds multiple batches of material so any
variations in a batch are averaged over time.
1-11-5-1 Opti-Mixer™
The Opti-mixer™ is designed to provide bi-directional
mixing action and can be easily taken apart for cleaning.
This design is standard on all SGB blenders.
1-11-5-2 “HC” Mixer
The “HC” Mixer features an open wheel design and is best
used for multiple regrind materials and rigid pellets. It is
optional on all SGB models.
WARNING!
Never reach into the mix section of the blender without
disconnecting the power or air supply.
Serious injury can result from getting your hand caught in the
rotating mixer!
1-11-6 Operator Control Panel
The operator control panel includes a 8 foot (2.4 m) cable and can be
remote mounted (not recommended) adjacent to the blender. The
panel can be unplugged and removed if necessary.
The controller includes an embedded computer. This design provides
excellent blender performance along with an easily replaceable
control panel in the unlikely failure of any computer or electronic part.
The display menu format is very simple. After installation and setup,
simply enter in the recipe and start the blender.
If it is desired to have a local display and control of the blender closer
to a remote operator station, an optional RS422 remote control panel
(RCP) is available.
