Typical Inline Blending System Design

Typical blending and dosing systems feature the following:

• Accurate ingredient addition rates are achieved via either variable speed positive displacement pumps or properly sized control values
• Raw blending and dosing system materials can be replenished without shutting down the continuous inline blending system
• Modules can be arranged in many different ways to accommodate rooms of different aspects ratios
• All raw blending system materials unloading and product delivery hardware are self-contained on the module
• The blending system can easily be relocated across the plant or across the country as changing business needs dictate

EPIC will team with you to fully extract the following:

• All ingredients and finished products with physical property data including:
  • Density
  • Static and kinematic viscosity at processing temperature
  • Vapor pressure
  • Closed cup flash point
  • Solubility data
  • MSDS data
• Percent of formula of all ingredients for all finished product SKU’s
• Minimum and maximum packaging rates (in terms off finished product volume or weight)
• Mean time between product SKU changeovers
• Ingredient addition accuracies desired
• A listing of known critical processing information based upon past experience
