SELF-CLEANING REMOTE GRAVIMETRIC BATCH BLENDER WITH DUST-TIGHT DISTRIBUTOR

原文（中文）

A system for processing material feeds for use by a plurality of processing machines includes an upstream batch blender, a downstream manifold, and a system controller. The batch blender prepares blended batches of material feeds from multiple batch components according to material feed formulations stored at the system controller. The manifold distributes materials feeds made by the batch blender to a plurality of buffer chambers for temporary storage and subsequent delivery to the plurality of processing machines. The system is configured to form dust-tight seals between separate system components that handle the material feeds, and to execute a self-cleansing process to remove residual material feed elements between separate processing runs of differently formulated material feeds, thereby avoiding cross-contamination of the separately formulated material feeds.
