Advanced Blending Solutions equipment
Build a preliminary equipment path for resin blending, drying, conveying, separation, railcar unloading, storage, scrap recovery, and plant controls.
Choose one task or a connected system. The selector uses material form, throughput, distance, lift, destinations, temperature, layout, process goals, and controls requirements to organize the ABS equipment worth reviewing.

About Advanced Blending Solutions
Advanced Blending Solutions develops modular equipment for resin metering, blending, drying, conveying, distribution, storage, railcar unloading, scrap recovery, filtration, and plant-wide controls. Gauge Advisor helps translate production requirements into a connected equipment path and coordinates the application review and quotation.
Meter each component accurately, protect moisture-sensitive resin, and maintain the material condition the process requires.
Batch and continuous blender paths meter virgin resin, regrind, color, and additives by weight for repeatable recipes and material accountability.
Selector inputs: total and component throughput, material form, mounting, temperature, discharge, changeovers, weighing, and extrusion-control needs.
Auger and related feeder configurations add color, powder, regrind, or other components at a controlled rate into the selected blending architecture.
Selector inputs: component type and rate, bulk behavior, recipe range, cleanout frequency, and blender arrangement.
Closed-loop desiccant systems condition hygroscopic resin before processing, with dryer size driven by throughput, temperature, residence time, and material changes.
Selector inputs: resin, throughput, drying temperature, residence time, power, conveying arrangement, moisture protection, and dust.
Insulated hopper sizing supplies the residence volume needed to bring resin to the target condition and preserve it until the process consumes it.
Selector inputs: pounds per hour, residence time, bulk density, resin changes, discharge, and conveying interface.
Move resin to the right destination, separate it from transport air, and manage metal, angel hair, fines, and dust before those problems reach production.
Local loaders and central vacuum or pressure systems move resin across the required distance and lift while accounting for rate, routing, material condition, noise, and dust.
Selector inputs: purpose, scale, material, source, destinations, throughput, distance, lift, routing, and existing pump status.
Receivers separate conveyed material from transport air at machines, bins, blenders, and dryers. Material, temperature, dust, and service duty drive the construction.
Selector inputs: destination count, resin form, temperature, filtration, discharge, purge, and contamination requirements.
Magnetic separation, screen-based devices, and angel-hair traps remove ferrous particles, streamers, and other unwanted material at the appropriate point in the resin path.
Selector inputs: separation target, material, throughput, installation, line size and connection, temperature, purge, and downstream integration.
Dust collection units, receiver filters, and system separation protect pumps, maintain conveying performance, and manage fines from demanding materials.
Selector inputs: dust level, resin form, system size, filtration goal, receiver duty, and maintenance preference.
Control the path from bulk delivery through plant storage and distribution, then return suitable process scrap to a usable pellet stream.
Automated distribution reduces manual hose changes and routing errors while helping plants manage multiple sources, destinations, recipes, and material-change procedures.
Selector inputs: source and destination counts, routing complexity, contamination control, barcoding, and central-controls scope.
Pressure or vacuum unloading packages transfer bulk resin from railcars to one or more silos with the throughput, distance, lift, dust, and routing demands defined up front.
Selector inputs: material, layout, silo arrangement, rate, distance, lift, destinations, routing, dust, angel hair, and pump status.
Silos, bins, gaylords, and mobile intermediate storage are selected around usable capacity, location, destinations, level indication, routing, and contamination control.
Selector inputs: material, storage mode, location, capacity or pounds, bulk density, destinations, mobility, level sensing, and routing.
A compact recovery path can densify, melt-filter, and repelletize suitable film, fiber, flake, or other scrap for controlled return to production or downstream storage.
Selector inputs: scrap form, polymer, throughput, operation, test requirement, melt filtration, and downstream storage.
Reduce manual changeover risk, coordinate the equipment, document material movement, and turn system status into useful production information.
Automated blender-cleanout and material-change features reduce retained resin, manual labor, downtime, and cross-contamination between recipes.
Selector inputs: changeover frequency, recipe count, contamination risk, new-blender scope, discharge, and controls integration.
Central controls coordinate blenders, dryers, pumps, receivers, valves, distribution, alarms, recipes, and remote access from one operating architecture.
Selector inputs: platform, complexity, equipment counts, required functions, machine interface, trending, tags, and remote access.
Weigh hoppers and reporting tools verify material movement, support inventory reconciliation, and provide production data beyond a simple level indication.
Selector inputs: verification goal, required accuracy, source and destination count, reporting, controls platform, and traceability needs.
Barcode-driven workflows help confirm that the correct source, recipe, container, and destination are connected before material moves.
Selector inputs: material-change risk, routing method, operator workflow, recipe control, inventory records, and plant-system interface.
Connected-system map
Throughput is only the starting number. Material properties, moisture, source and destination geometry, residence time, changes, contamination, and controls determine whether separate machines will work as one system.
Confirm the total rate and every component rate so the base blender and individual feeders both have usable capacity.
Match air delivery and residence volume to the resin, then protect the dried material on its path to the process.
Use actual distance, lift, destinations, line routing, material form, and duty cycle—not throughput alone—to size conveying.
Connect inventory, reclaimed material, dust management, routing verification, and reporting to the production plan.
Why ABS and Gauge Advisor
The selection begins with the material path and operating goal so equipment capacities, interfaces, and controls are reviewed together.
Pellets, regrind, powder, hygroscopic resin, hot material, dust, and contamination risk drive different construction and handling decisions.
Local equipment and central systems can be planned around current production while preserving a practical path for more machines and destinations.
Gauge Advisor coordinates missing data, ABS configuration review, quotation, implementation planning, and ongoing commercial support.
You can start with partial information. A process sketch, material list, equipment layout, and available production values make the final application review faster.
Quick answers
Use the selector result to begin the final ABS application review and quotation with the material, throughput, layout, and connected equipment needs already organized.
