Inline blending system
VP blending system and equipment can automatically mix and blend raw materials to the specific required finished products accordingly.
There are 3 kinds of blending method to handle small and large bulks.
Automatic batch blending system (ABB)
This is by way of weighing to achieve automatic small batch blending. Through automatic control of weight of the components proportionally, the finished product is blended to the specific requirements.
ABB is especially suitable for small batch, multi complex formula blending.
SMB & ILB
Simultaneous Metered Blending (SMB) & Inline Blending (ILB)
SMB (Simultaneous Metered Blending) and ILB (Inline Blending) are systems coupled with a sequential control and mode of operation. The advantage of the SMB is sequential control with flexibility and free of contamination.
SMB is designed to simultaneously measure liquids with flowmeters in correct ratio through a header. The system applies a product feed piping network, optionally separated by family groups. The SMB does not require a kettle as with ABB design. Instead the header(s) direct the output to storage tanks, usually dedicated for a specific blender. All tanks must be equipped with mixers to blend the product into a homogenous state once all the components have been charged into the tank.This process is suitable for blending large quantities and high quality products.
Inline blending is a continuous blending process mixing different products at high volume.
