Note: Ensure that the feed tube angle is steep enough (60 degrees is recommended).
Note: Some mezzanine mount applications will require the blending system’s lower
mass flow hopper be mounted on the extruder throat. The metering section
will be mounted on a small stand on the mezzanine directly above the extruder
with a 4” tube stub for gravity metered flow.

Note: This arrangement will be similar to the floor mounted configuration, discussed
in the following section, less the blower assembly.
Using the proper lifting equipment, lift the blender into place. Take care to ensure the proper
orientation of the blender and operator controls.

If necessary, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide adequate, safe work
platforms around the blender to meet state and local safety codes. For specific dimensions,

The floor mounted version has a blower and venturi that continually conveys the metered
blend to the processing machine mounted mass flow weigh hopper. The blower unit can be
placed in any position around the venturi and connected with a flexible hose. It is provided
for a straight hook up from the factory, but this can easily be field changed to any convenient
location, with additional tubing and a longer wiring conduit. These blenders have been
installed with the blower remote from the blender and connected with rigid aluminum tubing,
bends and Morris couplers. This is the customer’s preference. All conveying tubing is to be
provided by the customer and is not included with the blender pricing.
