5-3 Recipe Entry Formats
5-3-1 “EZ” Menu
(Most common in injection molding)
The EZ Menu structure allows recipes to be entered and adjusted by
using the UP-DOWN arrows located on the front of the LCD operator
panel.
The first material hopper on the blender is always designated as “NAT”
(virgin) material and cannot be changed.
The other ingredient labels can be designated by pressing the hopper
number key (i.e. <2>, <3>, <4>, <5>, <6>). They can be changed by
scrolling to read:
NAT.
RGD.
COL.
ADD
OFF.
The proper label will be displayed for the ingredient.
If “OFF” is chosen, the ingredient will be eliminated from the recipe and
not shown on the display.
The ingredient names selected will be displayed on the run mode
display so the operator will know what material is being blended.
Important!
The #1 hopper (“NAT” - Virgin Material) recipe ingredient will not
be shown on the recipe setup menu.
COL (Color) and ADD (Additive) designations will weigh the
ingredient as a percentage of natural material only.
RGD (Regrind) designations will weigh the ingredient as a
percentage of the total batch.
