Feeder Clean Out

Any feeder in the Slide Gate/Auger blending system can be emptied and refilled with a different material. To do a feeder clean out, the operator has to press the “Clean Out” icon key from the recipe screen (the first screen that appears on power up).

This screen will allow you to Open or Close the Feeder, Weigh Hopper, Mixer Knife Gate, Empty the Entire Blender, Start or Stop the Mixer Motor, Test the Alarm Output, Find out the Mixer Proximity Status and monitor the Current Hopper Weight.

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. To open/close feeder numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 press the number next to “Press to Open Feeder” to select the feeder you desire to empty and the “Press to Close Feeder” key to 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.

Note: Before starting Slide Gate/Auger 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.

Each component is metered in the order specified by the “Metering Order” setup. See the Installation & Setup chapter for further details.

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 Page 50). Once the dump delay timer has timed out, the controller will activate the weigh hopper dump valve, initiating the weigh hopper dump cycle.
