Claim 12:
13. An additive feeder system for use with a batch-blender machine, said batch-blender machine comprising at least one hopper operable to receive a raw material, a motor driven extrusion unit operable to mix the raw material homogenously, a throat connecting the hopper to the motor driven extrusion unit, where the throat is attached to the motor driven extrusion unit, and a discharge unit operable to discharge the mixed material;
said additive feeder system operable to generate an additive material to provide desired product characteristics, said additive feeder system comprising:
a feeder control unit operable to control the additive feeder system;
a feeder supply mechanism operable to provide one or more feed-lines from at least one supply unit;
a feeder dosage control mechanism operable to administer the additive material at a desired dosage; and
wherein said additive feeder system is operable to provide a specific dosage of said additive material in real-time for mixing with the raw material to achieve the desired product characteristics; and
wherein the additive material is generated by one or more feed-lines fed by the feeder supply mechanism into the feeder dosage control mechanism, and
wherein said feeder dosage control mechanism comprises a cutter unit operable to administer mixing of the raw material with the additive material within the throat attached to the motor driven extrusion unit by cutting said one or more feed-lines in a desired length into the throat attached to the motor driven extrusion unit at a rate controllable by the feeder control unit such that the additive material thoroughly mixes with the raw material to form a mixture within the throat between the hopper and the motor driven extrusion unit prior to said mixture being introduced into the motor driven extrusion unit directly from the throat.
