Gravimetric Blenders – MBWB
Foremost manufactures gravimetric blenders to meet the metering and blending needs of the plastics industry. Our Mini-Batch Weigh Blender is a fully integrated, automatic weighing system which meters individual ingredients sequentially into a centrally mounted weigh chamber.
The metering feeders offer dual speed (bulk/dribble) operation for maximum throughput while maintaining high accuracy. Each ingredient is weighed and totalled. When a batch is completed, it is held until called for. This allows the system to be integrated with any existing process.
