2.Raw material Definition: natural plastic particles without any additives in it. Distribution principle: percentage relative to the total weight of raw material (percentage between materials.) Description: hopper 1 is defined as raw material feeding and its percentage is automatically calculated. Total percentages of all the materials added together should be 100%.
Page 61
Distribution Principle: percentage relative to the total weight of all the materials. For example when hopper 4 is defined as 5% additives, calculation will be as below according to the above-mentioned example: Hopper 2 (regrinds) =1000g × 25% =250g; The total weight of raw material and additives = (batch weight- regrinds weight) = (1000g-250g) =750g Hopper 1 (raw material) = (750g/105%) ×...
4.8 Calculation Method of Master-batch and additives There are three methods to calculate master-batch and additives: 1、Relative to batch capacity; Ratios of master-batch and additive are calculated relative to batch capacity. E.g.: BATCH=1.0Kg, Hopper 1=AUTO calculated, Hopper 2=40%, Hopper 3=3%, Hopper 4=2%. Thus real weights are: Hopper 1=1.0 ×...
