Gravimetric Batch Blender Gets Series of Upgrades

Moretto has made significant improvements to the DGM Gravix line of gravimetric batch blenders to bolster their performance and ensure their reliability. 

The hopper design has been completely renewed to guarantee a regular granule flow, ensuring a constant dosing accuracy. This feature translates into greater operational reliability and the ability to maintain very high standards of accuracy, Moretto says. 

In addition, the mixing system has been further improved to optimize the uniform distribution of colorant and additives. This includes the recent introduction of the DGM 20 version in the range specifically designed for microdosing. This model is well suited for medical applications, where precision and reliability are key requirements to meet the high standards demanded.

The electrical cabinet has also been redesigned to enhance the ergonomics, engineering and accessibility of control devices. Positioned strategically at the rear, it provides convenient access to all essential machine components, including electronics, weighing cells and pneumatics.

The user interface has been upgraded with the introduction of a 7-inch touch view, with a bigger size versus the previous version and featuring a simpler, more intuitive user experience. It enables operators to effortlessly maintain control over operations. 

The new pivoting arm delivers substantial ergonomic improvements, enhancing operator comfort and optimizing space utilization, particularly during processing phases.

Visual communication is facilitated by a set of LEDs, illuminated in four distinct colors, clearly indicating the operational status of the machine.
