2. Components categories of hopper 1~8 can be defined as follows: l Raw material; l Regrinds; l Material additives; l Batch additive 3. Feeding sequence: RegrindsâRaw materialâMaterial additivesâBatch additives (Components of the same kind will be feed from hopper 1 to hopper 8 in succession.) 4.
The relative proportion=80%:20%=4:1 Because there are no regrinds and additives, the batch is raw materials. Therefore: Hopper 1 (raw material) =1000g × 80% =800g; Hopper 3 =1000g × 20%=200g; If Hopper is defined as 25% regrinds, calculation will be: Hopper 2(regrinds) =1000g × 25%=250g; The total weight of the material = (batch weight-regrinds weight) = (1000g-250g) = 750g Hopper 1 (raw material) =750g ×...
Page 101
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 × (100%-40%-3%-2%)=0.55Kg(550g) Hopper 2=1.0 × 40%=0.4Kg(400g) Hopper 3=1.0 × 3%=0.03Kg(30g) Hopper 4=1.0 × 2%=0.02Kg(20g) 2、Relative to raw material capacity; Ratios of masterbatch and additive are calculated relative to raw material capacity.
Appendix 4: Chromatic Aberration Compensation of Reclaimed 4.12.1 Material In some occasions, the color of reclaimed material may fade. Therefore, it is necessary to add masterbatch.
