A weight management system in fiber blending is a system that is used to ensure that the fibers are blended in the correct proportions. This is important because the proportions of the different fibers will affect the filtration properties of the filter media.
There are two main types of weight management systems used in fiber blending:
Batch Weighing – In a batch weighing system, the different fibers are weighed out in the desired proportions and then mixed together. Batch weighing systems are typically used for small batches of filter media production.
Continuous Weighing – In a continuous weighing system, the different fibers are fed into the blender at controlled rates. Continuous weighing systems are typically used for large batches of filter media production.
