Figure 25: Weigh Hopper

Note: THE WEIGH HOPPER ASSEMBLY MUST HANG FREELY AND BE FREE FROM FRICTION, WITH NO MECHANICAL OBSTRUCTIONS OTHER THAN THE LOAD CELL ITSELF.

Final Connections

Connect the blender to the appropriate power source.

Connect the compressed air piping, ensuring that a 5-micron air filter is installed, along with the proper water trap, and lubrication unit, if required. Verify that 60 psi (4.14 bar) of clean, dry compressed air is supplied to the blender.

Note: Again, make sure that proper air supply connections are made to the blender, as dirty, contaminated, wet air can damage blender components eand can quickly cause poor performance and accuracy!

Note: Make sure that the blender is supplied with clean, dry, 60 psi (4.14 bar) compressed air.

After powering up the blender the following screen will be shown:
