Additive sensor. Select the no sensor, alarm only, or alarm & stop.

Virgin material sensor. Select the no sensor, alarm only, or alarm & stop.

Recipe Setup for Simple Extrusion:

In order to calculate the correct motor speed required to feed the desired amount of additive, the following data must be entered:

1)Additive %

2)Throughput

3)Throughput RPM

4)Calibration weight.

In addition, for the greatest accuracy, samples of the additive should be weighed and entered.

Additive %

The % additive specifies the proportion of additive to virgin material as a percentage of throughput. For example, if the throughput is 200 grams per minute and 8.5 grams of additive are required, the additive percentage would be 4.25. After the additive value has been entered, press the “Next” button to navigate to the Throughput screen.
