WEIGH SCALE BLENDER® - Maguire Products

WEIGH SCALE BLENDER®
MAGUIRE PRODUCTS, INC.
Normal Operating Sequence - Each Cycle
As the sensor is uncovered, the cycle begins. The target weight of a complete batch is 18000, 9000, 4000, 2000, 1000, or 400
grams.
REGRINDS are dispensed first, in their order of size, largest dispense first. After all the Regrind dispenses, the space
remaining in the weigh bin is determined.
NATURALS are dispensed second, in their order of size, each at the correct ratio to the others. These dispenses are
calculated to fill the bin leaving just enough space for the Additive dispenses. After all Natural dispense are complete the
exact weight of all of the NATURALS is determined and, based on this actual dispense weight, the Additive dispenses are now
calculated.
ADDITIVES are dispensed last. These dispenses are calculated as a percentage of all the NATURAL components only.
If any dispense fails to reach the requested weight, the process does NOT CONTINUE. The ALARM Strobe light flashes, the
Beeper sounds, and the system continues to retry the dispense until the problem is remedied.
The total batch is then dropped into the mixing chamber for blending before entering the throat of the process machine.
