The dump valve opens as soon as the “Press to Open Feeder” key is pressed. This easy feeder clean out option also serves as a means for emptying a batch that is held in the weigh hopper if the “Press to Open Weigh Hopper” key is pressed when the blender is stopped. Touch the picture of the hopper you wish to open or close to select the feeder you desire to empty and close the dump valve. Touch the “Done” key to return to the recipe menu. After entering a recipe, the operator will restart the blending system, putting it back in normal operation.

Important!

Before starting SGB blending systems, each ingredient hopper in the current recipe must contain material! Virgin material must be loaded in hopper #1 and hopper #3 should only be used for regrind!!

Once the operator initiates the run mode of operation, the blending system controller will begin monitoring the mixer high-level switch. Nothing will happen until the mixer high-level switch is uncovered. This tells the controller that the mixing chamber is capable of holding another batch of material.

Once the mixer high-level switch is uncovered, and the weigh hopper has dumped, the system will meter the ingredients from the supply hoppers, through the metering units, into the weigh hopper. Each component will be metered individually to allow accurate weighing of the material.

Once the final ingredient specified in the recipe has been metered into the weigh hopper, the controller will take a final weight reading of the weigh hopper. This will start the “Dump Delay” timer. (See Section 5-8- 9). Once the dump delay timer has timed out, the controller will activate the weigh hopper dump valve, initiating the weigh hopper dump cycle.

The open weigh hopper dump door will allow the material to drop into
