Commission Processing - Blending
Our blending line provides us the flexibility of combining
up to 20 different components in a uniform manner for blends
weighing between 5,000 to 50,000 lbs. Each component is introduced
into our series of 5 feedboxes and is then conveyed into the
first of two blending bins. After the fiber passes thru the
1st blending bin it is passed thru our 12 bar mixing picker
before being carried thru our hump-magnet to remove any metal
contamination. The fiber is then discharged and accumulated
in our 2nd blending bin where it is gently tumbled numerous
times thus completing the blending process. After this tumbling
process, the fiber passes thru an incline cleaner to assist
in removing any dirt and or unwanted vegetable matter contamination.
After going thru the incline cleaner the fiber passes thru
a series of duct work where the fiber goes thru a “mechanical
baffle system” which removes any large pieces of fiber
and or heavy foreign matter that might have been present in
the unblended components. Finally, the fiber is then passed
thru enclosed duct work to an electronic metal detection system
where any metal contamination that is present is discharged
thus leaving fully blended and contamination free fiber to
be press packed into bales which can weigh between 500 to
800 lbs. depending upon the customer’s request.
