Properly blended resin is a necessity for plastic processes, and AEC gravimetric batch blenders deliver consistent performance and superior batch control, every time. Each AEC blending system supports injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding operations with precision material metering and mixing to maximize machine efficiency. The AEC BD Series blender in particular sets the new industry standard for accuracy and homogeneous blend quality with quick-acting slide gates, unique mix chambers, and an easy-to-use touch-screen interface.
BD Series Blenders from AEC
The BD Series blender is perfect for injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, or nearly any other plastic molding process. With its easy-to-clean design, the BD Series blender allows users to minimize material change-over time and maximize machine efficiency.
The BD Series offers:
- Unmatched Mixing Performance: The BD Series provides optimum mixing and blending consistency every time. The expertly designed paddle achieves industry-leading mix quality, which virtually eliminates dead zones by pulling material out of the corners, delivering the most consistent batch-to-batch blended mix.
- Proven Reliability & Quality: AEC's exclusive weigh hopper design eliminates fatigue points, improves reliability, and delivers a consistently solid performance.
- Precision Control: Upgraded 7" HMI color touchscreen display and Ethernet connectivity allows users to remotely monitor, control, or collect data for an existing SCADA system.
- Ergonomic Design, Equipped with Convenience: Regular cleaning maintenance requires no tools, and the reliable safety-interlock system disables both compressed air and power if the mixer door is opened.
No matter what you need from your blending equipment, AEC has the solutions for you.
A leading extrusion manufacturer was able to yield big results by enhancing their plastic processing facility’s blender. This company aimed to produce quality parts faster and minimize costly additive waste, so they turned to AEC for help.
For a custom profile extruder, achieving the right product colors and material properties hinges heavily on how well different materials are blended. An optimal blend is difficult to achieve when performing a job change-over or starting up the extruder. This results in scrap that impacts material costs, labor efficiency, and even turnaround time, and costs can add up significantly when running multiple jobs every day. This extrusion company decided to upgrade its BD Batch Weigh Blender with a new easy-to-install paddle design. Immediately after installing the new paddle, mixing quality improved and they started producing quality products four times faster.
Plastic processing companies dedicated to producing high-quality products and delivering on-time results with short lead times need the right equipment for their facilities. BD Series blenders from AEC set the new standard for quality blending and accurate results.
