Mix Chamber
All of the batch blenders are equipped with an integral mix chamber. The mix chamber holds multiple batches of material so any variations in a batch are averaged over time.

The
Operator Control Panel Display
The operator control panel includes a 32 foot (10.0 m) cable and can be remote mounted (not recommended) adjacent to the blender. The panel can be unplugged and removed if necessary.
A programmable logic controller (PLC) controls the blender operation. This design provides excellent blender performance along with an easily replaceable control panel in the unlikely failure of any computer or electronic part.
The display menu format is very simple. After installation and setup, simply enter in the recipe and start the blender. See figures 10, 11 and 12 for controller pushbutton & touchscreen tags along with typical setup and operator screens.
If you want to have a local display and control of the blender closer to a remote operator station, an optional remote mount operator panel is available.
