Accuracy to ± 0.1% on a 1% Setting

• Repeatable consistent dosing accuracy – 1/10 percent of requested target.
• Dosing dynamically adjusts as densities / flow rates change.

Load Cells 

• Load cell resolution is 1/40 of a gram (about 1 pellet) – the addition of just 1 pellet will cause the reading output to increment by 1.
• Over an extended time period the system is extremely accurate.
• Each batch followed by an error correct routine – assuring the next batch “learns” from any significant error that may have occurred.

Dispense Devices 

• Range of dispense valves for high throughput, minor components, poor flowing regrind, high volume pellets, and accurate low percentage dosing.
• Dose a range of percentages with maximum accuracy and control.

Real Time Data

• Blender measures every gram of every material.
• System monitors accuracy of total recipe and adjusts dosing.

Save Masterbatch & Additive up to 30%

• Precision dosing devices for accurate, repeatable control.
• Integrated software to optimize dosing accuracy in relation to whole blend.

Maximize on Regrind Usage

• Software and hardware controls regrind effectively.
• Options for maximizing regrind consumption and minimizing color usage.

Complete ROI – Within 6-9 Months 

• Increased regrind levels, reduced masterbatch & additive settings can pay for the blender within 6-9 months.
• Maguire blender eliminates manual handling and reduce operation costs dramatically.

Vibration Management

• System is proven to manage accuracy in vibration environments.
• Unique controls and features to enhance even extreme environments.
