Blender Assembly and Installation Instructions
Lifting Requirements
CAUTION: LOAD CELLS ARE EASILY DAMAGED. Always handle the blender with care.
To avoid shock damage to load cells avoid hard impact with floor or equipment. Warranty
coverage does not cover damaged load cells due to mishandling.
CAUTION:
Weigh Scale Blenders can be top-heavy. Always lift using attach points mounted to
the top of the frame of the blender. Do not lift from the hoppers or hopper extensions. Never use
the air cylinders as lifting points or handles as damage to air cylinders may occur. Eyebolts can
be temporarily installed on the top of the blender frame as a lifting point. Model 3000 blenders
must be lifted from eyebolts installed on the top of the feeder frame. Install at least two eyebolts
on opposite sides of the blender frame. When installing eyebolts, if an unused bolt hole is not
available, a hopper bolt can be temporarily removed and replaced with a ½” eyebolt for lifting
purposes. Optional Lifting Hangers are available from Maguire Products to allow lifting the
blender with a strap or chain. Weight and dimensions of each model is listed on page: 126.
Mounting the Blender
The machine and all supporting equipment must be
securely anchored in position prior to operational use.
1A. 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.
