BLN1-600A Chapter 7: Appendix 104 of 116
Feeder and Type Setup
This page allows you to configure how many hoppers your unit has as well as the position of
each feeder visually. You can make any hopper any number as long as you don’t skip a
number. For instance if you have a 4 component blender then you will need to make sure you
have the numbers 1-4 configured into a hopper. Never assign the same number to multiple
feeders. Set unused hoppers to “0” will hide them on the recipe page. You should configure
the blender to match the actual physical location of each hopper to make it easier on the
operator. However, this is only a visual issue and does not effect operation of the blender.
This screen also allows you to modify the type of each feeder. In most cases, the user will
want to keep regrind on hopper 3 because that blender has been specifically designed to
handle the regrind. These settings should only be modified under special circumstances.
If the blender is configured in “EZ Mode” then one hopper must be configured for Regrind
and at least one hopper must be configured for Virgin material. If this is incorrect, a message
will be given on the Recipe Screen. You can configure as many Regrind or Virgin hoppers as
you want. Hopper Material Type tags are only used in EZ MODE.
