Get super-Sized hoppers for really big blenders. (Keeping up with Auxiliaries).


Molders, extruders, or compounders running high-output production lines can now get hoppers up to four times larger than the standard hoppers on Maguire Maguire (Mac Uidhir) is a surname of Irish origin. It may refer to:

 blenders. R.T. Kuntz Co., Inc., Farmingdale, N.J., a systems-engineering firm and distributor of Maguire equipment, has developed customized blender packages for throughputs up to 5000 lb/hr or more. They include material bins that hold up to 1000 lb or more, vs. 275 lb for Maguire's largest standard bin.

"Customizing blender packages for high-volume processors involves more than just 'up-sizing' hoppers," said Rod Kuntz, president of R.T. Kuntz. "We have developed a total system for large-scale material handling, with special attention to cleanouts and color changes."

Besides the Maguire blender, the custom hopper A tray, or chute, that accepts input to a mechanical device, such as a disk duplicator or printer. In the days of punch cards, millions of cards were numerically or alphabetically organized by placing them into the hopper of a card sorter, taking them out of all the stackers and putting , and a vacuum loading system made by R.T. Kuntz, a typical blender package includes: ladders and platforms at diagonally opposed corners of the hopper to allow access to all vacuum receivers and bins; a high-capacity collection bin beneath the blender for dedicated or central feeding; and quick-coupling ports for drainage drainage, in agriculture
drainage, in agriculture, the removal of excess water from the soil, either by a system of surface ditches, or by underground conduits if required by soil conditions and land contour.
. All bins incorporate low-level sensors
  • Thermocouple
  • RTD - Resistance Temperature Detector or Resistance thermometer or Pt100
  • Microphone
  • Hydrophones
  • Seismometers
  • Photoresistor
  • Phototransistor
  • Infrared thermometer
  • Multi-User Multimodal Tabletop Interaction
  • Cationic Sensor
 and sight glasses, like standard Maguire equipment.
