NOTES:• Most popular models shown• Generally, slide gates are correct for components over 3%

(may go lower with valve restrictors)• MicroPulse valves are correct for dispenses less than 10g• Compressed air - 50 psi recommended for NWSB-MB, 80 psi

recommended for all others (25 psi minimum)• Compressed air consumption - 10 ft3/ hr.• Voltage: 120V 60Hz, 230V 5/60Hz• Contact NOVATEC to determine actual throughput for your

application based on resin type and bulk density

Direct Setting of Percentages - No Calculations

• Enter settings for percentageof color, additive or regrind on the thumbwheel switches, and the system does the rest.

Immune to Vibration• Load cell readings that have been

compromisedby machine shock or vibration are detected and discarded.

• Many models may be mounted directly on the process machine.

Advanced Dispense Technology• Batch to batch blend ratio is held to 0.1%.

• Advanced error-correction logic recognizes even miniscule errors and makes a correctionfor perfect blend ratio every time.

• Micro-Pulse™ dispense capability is 3 to 4 pellets per dose.

All Materials Metered by Weight • Accuracy is constantly monitored.

• Automatic compensation for material variations.

Very Simple Operation• Load hoppers with material: Regrind, Natural,

Color and Additive.

• Set thumbwheel switches for percentage desired.

• Turn controller on.

• The unit now operates automatically, adding components in the proper percentages. If material runs out, an alarm sounds.
