Blender Assembly and Installation Instructions
Lifting Requirements
CAUTION: LOAD CELLS ARE EASILY DAMAGED. Always handle the blender
with care. To avoid shock damage to load cells avoid hard impact with floor or
equipment. Warranty coverage does not cover damaged load cells due to
mishandling.
CAUTION: Weigh Scale Blenders can be top-heavy. Always lift using attach points mounted to the top of
the frame of the blender. Do not lift from the hoppers or hopper extensions. Never use the air cylinders as
lifting points or handles as damage to air cylinders may occur. Eyebolts can be temporarily installed on the
top of the blender frame as a lifting point. Model 3000 blenders must be lifted from eyebolts installed on
the top of the feeder frame. Install at least two eyebolts on opposite sides of the blender frame. When
installing eyebolts, if an unused bolt hole is not available, a hopper bolt can be temporarily removed and
replaced with a ½" eyebolt for lifting purposes. Optional Lifting Hangers are available from Maguire
Products to allow lifting the blender with a strap or chain. Weight and dimensions of each model is listed
on page: 138.
Mounting the Blender
The machine and all supporting equipment must be
securely anchored in position prior to operational use.

Machine Mounted:
For WSB MB, 100, 200, and 400 series models:
Two ways to do this are suggested ON THE NEXT PAGE:
The LEFT diagram shows the FRAME and SLIDE GATE both drilled with the proper bolt pattern
for your machine and THROUGH BOLTED to your press.
The RIGHT diagram shows only the 10 x 10 steel slide-gate plate drilled for your bolt pattern
and bolted to your press. The FRAME is then bolted to it using the existing 8 x 8 inch bolt
pattern holes and bolts provided. With this method, bolt head clearance holes are required in
the poly-pro slide gate plate. This mounting works well on smaller machines.
For WSB 900 and 1800 series models:
An additional machine mount adaptor plate may be required. If you have ANY DOUBT about
the STABILITY of the unit when bolted directly to your machine throat, please call us for advice.
NOTE: When choosing proper orientation, be sure to retain access to
the controller and weigh chamber, clearance for hinged doors, and
access to removable feeder hoppers.
