1A. If your unit is to be MACHINE mounted:
For WSB MB, 100, 200, and 400 series models:
Two ways to do this are suggested ON THE NEXT PAGE:
The LEFT diagram shows the FRAME and SLIDE GATE both drilled with the proper bolt pattern for your
machine and THROUGH BOLTED to your press.
The RIGHT diagram shows only the 10 x 10 steel slide-gate plate drilled for your bolt pattern and bolted to
your press. The FRAME is then bolted to it using the existing 8 x 8 inch bolt pattern holes and bolts
provided. With this method, bolt head clearance holes are required in the poly-pro slide gate plate. This
mounting works well on smaller machines.
For WSB 900 and 1800 series models:
An additional machine mount adaptor plate may be required. If you have ANY DOUBT about the
STABILITY of the unit when bolted directly to your machine throat, please call us for advice.
NOTE: When choosing proper orientation, be sure to retain access to the
controller and weigh chamber, clearance for hinged doors, and access to
removable feeder hoppers.
1B. If your unit is STAND mounted:
A stand is provided and your unit will bolt directly to it. An assembly DIAGRAM is provided on the
following pages.
An air operated FLOW CONTROL ASSEMBLY is provided for dispensing into a container. The purpose
of this unit is to allow time for mixing to occur after each dispense. This flow valve keeps the mix chamber
full to just below the sensor. This assembly bolts directly to the bottom of the Weigh Scale Blender frame.
