Mixer and Dump Setup
The settings listed below are set at the factory and typically do not require any change.
1. From Setup touch “Mixer and Dump Setup”.
2. Enter a “Mixing Time”. This is the amount of time to run the mixer after a batch is
dumped into the mixing chamber.
3. Use “Remix Time” to set “Re-mix” off time. If set to a non-zero value the mix cycle
will be ran every “re-mix” seconds while the blender is at high level.
4. Use “Dump Time” to set the amount of time the weigh hopper will open while
dumping. This should not be set too long or short.
5. Use “Dump Delay” line for the optional dump delay setting. This is the amount of
time to start the mixer prior to dumping material into the mixing chamber. Set to “0”
to disable this feature.
6. Use “Dump Cycles” to enter the number of times that material will be dumped from
the weigh hopper. This allows the dump valve to open and shut repeatedly when the
weigh hopper is empty to shake lose any sticking material. If this feature is set to “1”
then the batch will dump normally. Normally this is not needed.
7. Use “Mixer Dump Time” to enter the amount of time the mixer knife gate will open
to allow material to exit the mixer. The mixer will also run to assist during this time.
8. Press “X” to return to the “Setup” screen.
