Turning on Material Type Outputs
This controller can control up to TWELVE (12) components; 1 through 12. Labeled: Component
1 through Component 12 . Each Component is either a hopper or a feeder.
All models are preset with their model specific component outputs turned ON. Components can be
turned on or off. Components that are TURNED OFF are not part of ANY routines. A component
becomes TURNED ON when it is set to a MATERIAL TYPE.
Material Type Definitions
Material TYPES are: % of Batch R (also referred to as REGRIND), NATURAL, ADDITIVE
The Weigh Scale Blender handles each TYPE differently. Settings have different meanings for each
TYPE. To enter component settings correctly, you must understand how different materials are handled
based on their TYPE. So PLEASE read this page CAREFULLY.
PERCENT OF BATCH (also referred to as REGRIND)
Components designated % of Batch (REGRIND, REG on Home Screen) will be added as a PERCENT
of the ENTIRE MIX of material. For example, If component 1 is designated as % of Batch (REGRIND)
and is set for 20.0 percent, then for every 100 pounds of blend, 20 pounds will be this component.
REGRIND is generally only added when available, and then as a limited percentage of the entire mix.
ALL Components set to % of Batch (R) or Mode set to % of Total Batch
If all components are set as % of Batch (R) or the Mode of Operation is set to % of Total Batch, the
percentages are entered as the exact percent for each. When ALL components are % of Batch (R) ,
ALL settings must add up to 99.9 or 100 percent. If they do not, an error message will appear (Sum of
components is less/greater than 100%).
NATURAL (RATIO TO EACH OTHER)
Components designated NATURAL will be added in the portion that you specify them to each other.
Their actual percentage of the mix will depend on how much Regrind (% of Batch) is specified and how
much Additive is specified. For example, if components 2 and 3 are both designated NATURAL and are
set for 10 and 40 respectively, then the RATIO of component 2 to component 3 will always be 10 to 40
or 1 to 4.
If no % of Batch (R) or Additives are specified, the mix will be:
Component 2, Natural , SET= 10, 20.0 percent of mix,
Component 3, Natural , SET= 40, 80.0 percent of mix.
The RATIO of 1 to 4 is maintained.
If component 1 is specified as % of Batch (R) at 20 percent, the mix is then
Component 1, % of Batch , SET= 20, 20 percent of mix,
Component 2, Natural , SET= 10, 16.0 percent of mix,
Component 3, Natural , SET= 40, 64.0 percent of mix.
Components 2 and 3 are still held at a 1 to 4 ratio.
