Instructions for Operation & Maintenance
Model CB-1 Continuous Blender
General Description
The Model CB-1 Blender is a simple and rugged continuous blender,
designed to blend or mix two or more ingredients on a continuous
basis. The mixing screw is designed to have a gentle “lift and fold”
action, which gives a complete mix with little or no degradation of
product.
The inlet section is designed per job to accept input from the pre-feed
devices.
Installation
The CB-1 Blender is completely assembled on a common base plate
and is ready to be put into operation. In some cases, because of its
lengthened tube, a field support may be required. This requirement
will be shown on the assembly drawings. Care should be taken to
assure the unit is leveled.
Electrical Requirements
Standard units are supplied with an AC motor and gear box
combination to allow the proper RPM of the blender screw. The motors
are AC, 230/460 volt, 3 phase, 60 hertz, unless otherwise specified.
All wiring and controls are by customer.
The motor must be wired to turn the screw clockwise when facing the
discharge of the unit. Rotation labels are on the discharge tube.
Operation
After the unit is leveled and wired it is ready for operation. The pre-
feeders and blenders should be electrically interlocked so that they
start and stop in unison.
