• Blenders (non-intensive)

  Acra-Color solids blender blends virgin or regrind with color concentrates or powdered additives. Capacities from 100 to 10,000 lb/hr. Can be machine- or floor-mounted. Floor-mounted models may be arranged to blend materials for several molding machines or extruders.

• Conveying Equipment (pneumatic and Mechanical)

  Automated bulk storing, pneumatic handling, conveying, blending, drying and loading systems unload rail cars or trucks and feed blended, dried, and preheated raw material directly into molding machine or extruder hopper.

  Belt conveyor systems, pallet tilters that tilt automatically when the center of gravity shifts to help draw the last bit of material from a container, and beside-the-machine self-contained material loaders.

• Dryers for Resins

  Line of resin dryers matched to hoppers that uniformly expose resin to drying air includes TD series desiccant dryers in 17 models with airflows from 6 to 2000 cfm. Units feature indexing, three-bed design with closed process-air circuit. Design allows in-process cooldown of the regenerated bed with recovery of residual regeneration heat and cooldown with the dry process stream rather than with ambient air. Optional Tech II microprocessor control has seven-day timer with battery backup, display of operating parameters, alarms, and system-operating diagnostics.

  H series hot-air dryers available in 11 sizes with airflows from 12 to 2000 cfm. Units heat and circulate air through the resin, removing any surface moisture, and are for use on nonhygroscopic materials. Often used to remove condensation from materials brought into a warm plant from cold outdoor storage.

  Also small compressed-air membrane dryers for 6 to 10 lb/hr.

• Hopper Loaders

  Automated bulk storing, pneumatic handling, conveying, blending, drying and loading systems unload rail cars or trucks and feed blended, dried, and preheated raw material directly into molding machine or extruder hopper.
