Gravimetric Batch BlendingThe TSM OPTIMIXTM range of blenders are compact with a low height profile and are designed and constructed of heavy gauge steel to withstand the most rigorous of operating conditions. The load cells are overload protected and guarded from physical damage while each blender is constructed with high load bearing continuous welding protecting it against vibration and shocks. All TSM blenders include self-optimizing software to give you the most efficient output on every order.
Savings Through Superior Mixing!TSM, utilizing its unique reverse flight mixing auger, can ensure all materials are mixed consistently with no separation, no dead spots in the mixing chamber and no need to adjust mixing times. The downward head pressure generated with our positive displacement mixing technique ensures consistent throughput irrespective of material composition.

Homogenous Mixing of Various Materials
Due to the mixing action of the unique TSM reverse flight Auger Screw, material is forced into the machine process throat.
TSM Global Remote Diagnostics – Faster Service !Blender technicians at TSM can conduct remote diagnostics of the entire system through an Ethernet connection, while the TSM system is still operating. This allows TSM to remotely give software upgrades anywhere in the world and furthermore authorize the customer’s personnel to access the system under password protected entry & therefore avoid unnecessary late or weekend callouts for senior personnel.
Production Supervisory Control● Central management and reporting system for all TSM blenders● Each blender can be monitored and/or controlled from a central
location● Material usage from every batch, from every machine, is logged● Recipes can be built using entered customers material database.● Alarm activations recorded, displayed and logged
Regrind Mixing Advantage● Direct in-line usage of lower cost flake regrind materials● Reduced virgin usage● Reduced power consumption● No Separation of various density materials● Recued Bulk Density variations in process screw
