Batch time screen
– The “Start %” refers to the size of the first 7 batches. The
blender reduces the batch size of the first seven batches to avoid overfilling the
weigh bin before the correct flow rate is known. The default is 50%, but when the
target weight is only a few grams of any component, 50% is difficult to achieve
and often results in alarms.
Extrusion Mode button
–
The extrusion mode button, when selected,
ensures that the blender will only run if all components add up to between
99 and 101%
. A warning hand will be displayed above the ON/OFF button to
prevent starting. If the percentages are changed while the blender is running, a
warning message will be displayed and the blender will stop the current process.
NOTE
When in Extrusion Mode do not change the recipe while the blender is
operating..
NOTE
When operating in “Extrusion Mode” it is also important that all material
positions be set as the same material type, “Naturals” (N).
This will ensure proper ratios of the ingredients are maintained and the
“Alarm” mode (selectable from the component setup screen) be set to “Stop”.
