BLN1-600A Chapter 7: Appendix 97 of 116
PORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING MAX. BLENDING RATE LISTED:
• The standard maximum blending rate is based on a 3-component blend running 80% virgin, 18% regrind (free-flowing)
and 2% pelletized color. Each additional component reduces the overall maximum rate by 20% per component.
• Recipes with more than 50% regrind will significantly reduce the throughput, and minor ingredient accuracy, of the
blender. Consult the factory for achievable rates.
• Two component recipes may REDUCE overall blender throughput due to reduced available weigh hopper capacity.
Consult the factory for achievable rates.
• Rates are based on dry, free-flowing virgin pellets with a bulk density of 35 lbs./ft
3
. Rates will vary as a result of the
number of blender components, the materials, and the recipe(s) used. Consult the factory for guaranteed rates.
• Material samples are required for testing prior to shipment for guaranteed rates. Consult the AEC Sales Department for
shipping instructions and for the amounts of each material to send for testing. A test request form must be submitted,
