AEC - Model BD Series -Gravimetric Batch Blender for Industrial Use
The BD Series Gravimetric Batch Blenders from AEC set a new benchmark in the industry by delivering precision and consistent blend quality. These blenders are equipped with quick-acting diamond slide gates and innovative mix chambers, alongside an intuitive high-resolution color touch-screen interface, supporting three versatile methods for entering blend recipes. Ideal for processes like Injection Molding, Extrusion, and Blow Molding, they offer swift cleaning capabilities which streamline material transitions and boost machine efficiency. The unique paddle design fosters uninterrupted material flow, achieving industry-leading consistency and reducing waste. Backed by a 5-year warranty, these blenders combine proven reliability with impressive precision control, making them an indispensable asset for optimal industrial mixing applications.
The BD Series batch weigh blenders are setting new industry standards for accuracy and homogeneous blend quality with quick-acting diamond slide gates, unique mix chambers, and an easy to use high resolution color touch-screen interface.
With 3 different ways to enter blend recipes, the BD Series blender is perfect for Injection Molding, Extrusion, Blow Molding or any other process. Combined with its easy to clean design, the BD series blender allows you to minimize material changes and maximize machine efficiency.
