Gravimetric Blender - Maguire® MaxiBatch™



MaxiBatch Blend Virtually Any Combination of Powder, Wood Flour, Flake, Regrind, Pellet and Additive

5year

In 1993 we introduced gravimetric blenders to Australia & New Zealand with Maguire. Maguire is the most popular blender worldwide with three out of four gravimetric blenders purchased manufactured by Maguire Products. Maguire continue to improve the machines whilst holding prices low and in 2005 the sale of Maguire blenders exceeded 30,000 worldwide. Most leading plants in Australia & New Zealand have standardized on Maguire blenders due to their remarkable reliability and advanced features.

Major Advantages of the Maguire MaxiBatch™ Gravimetric Blender at a fraction of the cost and space required by previous methods:

  • The world's largest throughput capacity up to 12,000 lb/hr (5500 kg/hr)
  • Blends up to 12 ingredients
  • Precise and efficient dosing of large quantities of bulk powders such as additives and wood flour
  • Ability to easily add or remove dispense devices
  • Bulk powder dispensing in a sealed environment
  • High accuracy blending of a variety of ingredient types
  • New 12-12 Controller with Twelve Component Software
  • Optional touch screen controller

Modular Flexible Design

A single MaxiBatch™ blender utilizes a variety of proprietary dispense methods to enable accurate blending of up to 12 ingredients as either a major or minor component.

The MaxiBatch™ blender accommodates twelve removable hoppers for as many ingredients, each hopper incorporates its own dispensing device designed for precise metering in large quantities.

As in other Maguire weigh blenders, ingredients are dispensed sequentially into a weigh chamber; the batch then falls into a mixing chamber.
 

Interchangeable hoppers and dispensing devices provide unlimited flexibility
 

A variety of proprietary, interchangeable dispense devices and bin sizes allows the MaxiBatch™ to be customized for your application.

Gravimetric Gateway™ Server (G2 Server)
The Gravimetric Gateway™ Server also referred to as the G2 Server, is the name we give to the server software written exclusively for the MAGUIRE Weigh Scale Blenders. The G2 Server enables you to communicate directly from the server with one or more WSB controllers or connect remotely from anywhere over a TCP/IP network using the Gravimetric Gateway™ Client Software. The Gravimetric Gateway™ Server provides two-way communication between the server and the MLAN network of blenders through downloading and constant retrieval of information from WSB controllers. The Gravimetric Gateway™ software was designed to work as a stand-alone application to provide enhanced reports and control. The Gravimetric Gateway™ software has the ability to use MySQL for it's databases.
