Examples of Making Settings
Below are listed 4 different examples for possible settings users can make with the Maguire blender.
Each example uses this formula:
Regrind = Rs * Full weight
Natural = (Full weight - Ra) / (100 + As)
Additive = Natural * As
Example 1:
Blender:
WSB 100 Series with 1000g Batch
Materials:
30% Regrind
70% Natural
3% Color
Application: Regrind is recycled and therefore already colored.
Color only needs to be added to the Natural Material
Settings:
Regrind R 30
Natural N
100
Color A 3
Calculation:

Total = 1000 grams

Regrind: 30% * 1000.0 = 300.0 (Rs * Full weight)

Natural: (1000.0 - 300.0) / (100% + 3%) = 700.0 / 1.03 = 679.6 (Full weight - Ra) / (100 + As)

Additive: 679.6 * 3% = 20.3 (Natural * As)

The blender is doing this calculation automatically for you
Result:
1 Regrind 300.0g 30.0 parts
2 Natural 679.6g 67.9 parts
3 Color 20.3g 2.0 parts
Batch Total 1000g 100 parts
Example 2:
Blender:
WSB 100 Series with 1000g Batch
Materials:
30% Natural
70% Natural
3% Color
Application: 2 nd Natural (or un-colored regrind) is used without any Color and therefore both naturals require color.
Settings:
Natural N 30 (Naturals are a ratio to each other, in this case a 30 parts to 70 parts ratio)
Natural N 70
Color A 3
Calculation:

Total = 1000 grams

Hopper 1 Natural at 30% (Ratio to hopper 2 natural 30% 70%, 291.3 grams)

Hopper 2 Natural at 70% (Ratio to hopper 1 natural 30% 70%, 679.6 grams)

Naturals: (1000.0 - 0) / (100% + 3%) = 1000.0 / 1.03 = 970.8 (Full weight - Ra) / (100 + As)

Additive: 970.8 * 3% = 29.1 (Naturals * As)

The blender is doing this calculation automatically for you
Result:
1 Natural 291.3g 29.1 parts
2 Natural 679.6g 68.0 parts
3 Color 29.1g 2.9 parts
Batch Total 1000g 100 parts
Rs = Regrind setting
Ra = Regrind actual
As = Additive setting
