Blending & Dosing Summit Systems MD, Mike Jordan, met the inventor of the WSB (Weigh Scale Blender) and founder of Maguire, Steve Maguire, in America in 1989. The meeting led to Mike bringing the WSB concept to Europe. Summit Systems is now in its 3rd decade of partnership with Maguire, sharing a building in Tamworth. As Mike Jordan says: The WSB is a fantastic design which our customers find utterly reliable. Its accurate measurement has saved huge amounts of material and associated costs over the years. Why pay more for the gravimetric option? The image on the right shows three 180g samples of Masterbatch in 500ml containers. This illustrates perfectly the huge variance in bulk density between colours. BLENDING & DOSING This clearly shows the advantage of metering by weight compared to volume. In 90% of case switching to gravimetric yields instant savings and quality improvements. 14 Mike Jordan, MD Summit Systems
Maguire invented and developed the gravimetric blender for the plastics industry in 1989. Since then, the company have been working closely with producers all over the world developing the technology for a multitude of applications. Over 55,000 have been sold worldwide, an accuracy still unequalled in the plastics industry. Machines that were installed over 25 years ago are still operating accurately, 24/7, which is a testament to the technology and quality of the design. These machines are still 100% supported with spare parts and service, which is unique for ancillary equipment within the plastics industry. Injection Moulding First to market to precisely blend virgin with both regrind and Masterbatch this is the ideal way to ensure your expensive additive is only added to your virgin and not your already coloured regrind. Immune to vibration, these machines can be machine or floor mounted. Customers never return to dosing and proportional valves once a blender is installed. Historically, payback can be as little as 3 months. Additional components can be added if required. Blow Moulding Designed to ensure a perfect blend of virgin, regrind and colour. We have installed thousands of these units within the blow moulding industry worldwide. Increasingly, additional ingredients are added to the blend like calcium fillers, UV stabilisers etc. Huge improvements in processing are seen, such as parison control and bottle or product weight. This becomes increasingly consistent when using a WSB. Film/Sheet Extrusion Special Applications For Film Extrusion, the blend is calculated differently to moulding, all the percentage ingredients must add up to 100%. With Sheet Extrusion, the blend is generally ratios and each material can be a percentage of the batch or each other. Most extruders in the UK have a Maguire WSB and they will tell you they have delivered a massive improvement in product quality and cost control. With throughputs up to 4,000kg/hr and a vast range of varied, tried and tested dispensing methods, the Maguire Gravimetric solution has the answer. Suitable for wood flours, recycling, high throughput PET regrind - to the complex production of adhesive for tapes using chalk, crumb rubber, titanium dioxide, liquids and lubricant oil.
