TSM Control Systems has launched the all new OPTI-MIX™ batch blender with its throughput range from 1 to 200 Kg/h. It utilises four easily removable hoppers with individual integrated slide valves for fast material changes and the well known patented TSM superior reverse-flight auger mixing. With the new OPTI-MIX™ technology, material dosing precision combined with the best material blend homogeneity guarantees consistent end-product quality and Masterbatch savings.

An infinite number of pre-programmed job recipes are instantly accessible, enabling rapid "on-the-fly" order changes. The Recipe Select feature allows a new job to be loaded instantly, including blend percentages or job size. As the job progresses the operator can view ''set'' and ''actual'' blend recipes, material weights & Kg/hr or Gm/m throughput values.

With Ethernet protocol delivered as standard and option of CAN or MODBUS as optional, together with USB Plug-in software downloads and SD-card memory, you may quickly realise that this is a blender solution with a long life span.
