Versatile, Yet Compact Accurate Gravimetric Blending

Get accurate blends, better mixing, faster material changes and increased profits with Conair’s MedLine TrueBlend Series Blenders. Steep-sided compartments allow resin to flow evenly through vertical dispense valves into the weigh chamber. Efficient mixing fully integrates all recipe ingredients. Enclosed cabinet design assures clean operation without pellet spillage.
MedLine blenders reduce downtime for cleaning out particulate with features such as quick access material compartment bins, a hinged chassis access door and removable components in the mixing chamber.

Blend accuracy to 1/2%

Colorant and/or additive weights are held to within 0.5% of setting. A selectable Precision Additive™ feature is also available for additives for even greater accuracy. The microprocessor control automatically calibrates after every cycle and compensates for variations in dispense method, resin bulk density or particle geometry.

Calibrated to ISO standards

The MedLine TB100 is calibrated to ISO standards, perfect for any cleanroom application.

Convenient, easy clean out

Easy access to all material contact points for fast and safe cleaning during color or resin changes. Quick access material compartment bins, a removable weigh bin, mix agitator and mix chamber liner allow quick efficient cleaning. The blender features a built-in manual material shut-off valve below the mixing chamber, this can be replaced with the automatic flow control valve for remote and central blending applications.

This easy-to-use touchscreen control allows for fast setup of blender setpoints and automatically weighs recipe ingredients in the proper sequence to maintain correct blend relationship. Any position can be identified as any of the four material type selections, adding flexibility to your application setup.
