Resin is your process lifeblood. And one of your biggest costs. Every lost pound, every contamination event, and every inconsistency in blending or drying cuts into margins. Our plastics resin conveying & blending solutions help you protect your material and prep it for processing with consistency and confidence.
Gauge Advisor is the official sales partner for Advanced Blending Solutions (ABS) , a U.S. manufacturer of resin conveying, blending, and drying systems. Together we provide energy-efficient vacuum pumps, blenders, and automation tools that improve process reliability and material flow for plastics processors.
Tell us your resin types, throughput, and line requirements and we will recommend the right ABS conveying, blending, or drying system. We will include pricing, lead times, and layout guidance. Need help sizing pumps or dryers? We can do that too.

Don’t let a single pellet go uncounted. Our inline weighing system tracks every pound of resin from railcar to silo like it’s guarding the crown jewels. Catch supplier shortfalls before they ghost you. It’s the watchdog your resin deliveries didn’t know they feared.
These vacuum pumps don’t scream for attention. They just work. VFD-driven for efficiency, and engineered to slash energy bills without breaking a sweat. No contamination, no downtime, no drama.
Replace a rat’s nest of hoses and diverters with smart manifold systems. Eliminate connection errors, reduce changeover time, and maintain recipe integrity from silo to extruder.
Catch the junk before it costs you. High-power magnets pull ferrous metals before they damage screws or tear through equipment, while the angel hair trap grabs those wispy plastic strands that clog dryers and wreck surface quality.
Precision-engineered knife gates with aluminum bodies and stainless steel blades for reliable, vacuum-tight sealing in material handling systems. Available in standard and high-temperature models with optional position sensors. Pair with flex hoses for efficient flow control and adaptable installation.
Tired of your shop sounding like a vacuum cleaner auditioning for a heavy metal band? Our ABS air‑filtration units gulp down dust, fumes, and particulates like they’re appetizers. And blow out clean, breathable air like nothing ever happened. Just pure, steady performance.
Swap materials without playing cleanup crew. This blender nails your ratios every time and kicks off automatic cleanouts between recipes like it’s allergic to cross-contamination. Fast, precise, and way smarter than whoever’s been eyeballing batch blends.
Moisture? Not on our watch. Thoreson McCosh dryers pull every last molecule of H₂O out of your resin. No splay, no bubbles, no brittle welds. Just bone-dry material, batch after batch. Low dewpoint, high standards. Like your product actually deserves.
Film trim? Scrap rolls? Sasquatch eats that stuff for breakfast and spits out clean, ready-to-run pellets right back to your extruder. Run it in-line or offline. No dust, no drama, no need for a noisy shredder pretending it’s doing something special.
