Blending Systems

Improve your production efficiency with our industrial blending systems designed for superior accuracy and adaptability. Our experienced engineers have tailored these systems to withstand the harshest manufacturing environments, ensuring smooth operation 24/7. Discover the key features and benefits our blending systems and industrial mixing systems offer to producers in food and beverage, consumer products, industrial materials, and petrochemical industries.

Our engineers grew up in manufacturing plants. They know what survives and what doesn’t. The knowledge we bring to the table results in constructing industrial blending systems that operate 24/7 in the harshest of manufacturing environments.

Standard systems are constructed with 316L stainless steel wetted parts. Higher alloys (Hastelloy, Carpenter 20, AL6XN, etc.) and non-metallics (PVDF, ceramic, UHMWPE, polypropylene, etc.) are available as required for chemical compatibility. A wide range of elastomers (Viton, EPDM, Kalrez, etc.) is available.

Systems can be supplied to meet Factory Mutual Class 1, Division 2 hazardous area requirements.

Ingredient Dosing Pumps

Our ingredient dosing pumps are precisely sized for delivering each ingredient at an accuracy of +/- 0.5%. Our positive displacement pumps can deliver ingredients with a wide range of viscosities. Tight internal tolerances with no metal-to-metal contact between rotor and stator guarantee long service life for your ingredient dosing system between repairs.

Continuous Inline Blending Module

The Inline Blending Module is the heart of the on-demand formulation system. Each blending module can accommodate five ingredients to be blended together. For example, if blending of eight ingredients across all formulas is required, you would require two blending modules, one of which would have two spare slots for future ingredients to be added. These modules would be connected in series, serving a common inline blending header. The Inline Blending Module can be staged anywhere in your plant, but it should ideally be placed close to where the finished product will be packed out or loaded into tank trucks. This staging will result in minimum wash out volumes and minimum wasted product when switching to the next product variant.

Module Components

The following components are required for each unique ingredient.

Ingredient Dosing Mass Flow Meter

A Coriolis-type mass flow meter monitors the mass flow, volumetric flow and density (specific gravity) of each ingredient on a continuous basis. These values are reported back to the System Logic Processor multiple times per second.

Automatic Ingredient Feed Shutoff Valve

At any time that Inline blending operations need to be paused or halted, the automatic ingredient shutoff valve will close upon command to do so by the System Logic Processor. This ensures that no additional ingredient can enter the header and also ensures that the Inline Blending Header contents cannot backflow into the ingredient delivery piping. Open and closed limit switches on this valve send feedback to the System Logic Processor that the automatic shutoff valve is indeed in its proper position.

Ingredient Supply Check Valve

This spring-loaded check valve is located in each ingredient line right at the blend header tie-in point as a redundancy to what the automatic shutoff valve does as explained above.

Main Control Panel

One Main Control Panel is required per system, regardless of the number of ingredients in your formula. The Main Control Panel houses the components listed below. The Main Control Panel can be located wherever you desire. It is typically sited at a location near the hub of where the operator usually circulates to perform their normal duties.

Logic Processor

The System Logic Processor is the heart of the monitoring and control of your inline industrial blending system. This processor executes a proprietary algorithm that updates multiple times per second to keep each ingredient flow within +/- 0.5% at all times.

In addition to monitoring and controlling the continuous blending system, the logic processor also functions as a recipe manager. Recipes for all finished product formulas reside in the System Logic Processor. New recipes can be added at any time via the Operator Interface Display or over your plant network.

The base system allows for the monitoring of all ingredient flows. Additional instrumentation can be included as listed under “Product Option Kits” below to monitor various parameters unique to your process. Operators may enter correction factors for each ingredient stream based on COA lab results if required. For example, if an ingredient typically has a specification of 16.5% active component and the lab results test that raw material at 14.1%, the operator simply inputs that data via the Operator Interface Display and the formula is adjusted accordingly.

Operator Interface Display

The Operator Interface Display is a NEMA 4, 12″ color smart monitor built into the Main Control Panel.
