ON THE OTHER HAND:
If you prefer to think of your mix as a RATIO OF WEIGHTS, for example, components 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are to be mixed at 100, 50,
5, 20 and 7 pounds respectively, then you may wish to specify ALL components as NATURALS. In this way these weights may be
entered just as listed here. Components will be dispensed to maintain each at the proper specified RATIO to the other
components.
If you wish to think of all components as PERCENTAGES of THE MIX, percents that always add up to 100 specify ALL
components as REGRIND and enter the exact percent for each. When ALL components are REGRINDS, ALL settings must add
up to 99.9 or 100 percent. If they do not, an error message (REG >100) or (REG <100) will appear.
BUT... WE RECOMMEND that you do it this way:
REGRIND
Use this for all materials that DO NOT require the addition of the ADDITIVES. For example, your Regrind scrap.
NATURAL
Use this for all materials that are the bulk of the mix.
These will be RATIOED to each other and will automatically constitute the ENTIRE mix except for the space
needed for Regrind and Additives. A blend of ABS Homo-polymer and Co-polymer or a blend of Styrene Hi
Impact and Crystal are examples of NATURALS ratioed together.
ADDITIVES
Use this for all materials that are added to the NATURALS only.
For example; color, stabilizer, slip agent, etc.
