SECTION 1 – BLENDER STARTUP
Getting Started – Read this page!
THE NEXT SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL WILL GUIDE YOU, STEP BY STEP, TO A
SUCCESSFUL STARTUP.
IT WON'T TAKE LONG; SO.... PLEASE, DON'T SKIP AHEAD.
HERE ARE THE STEPS YOU WILL FOLLOW:
SAFETY HAZARDS - Page 8 ……………………….. TWO HAZARDS exist on this unit: MIX BLADES and SLIDE VALVES. Read
this short sensible page so no one gets hurt.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS - Page 12 ……………. Very little assembly is required. But you might as well get it right the first
time. ALSO: Pay attention to the section on WIRING.
CHECK OUT PROCEDURE - Page 17 ……………. This is to see if you did it right. It also will tell if anything was damaged in
shipping.
LOAD CELL CALIBRATION - Page 22 …………… We already did this. But shipping or rough handling during assembly
sometimes creates load cell problems. If weight readings are not correct,
you MUST recalibrate the load cells.
SETUP OUTPUTS & MATERIAL TYPES - Page 22.. To "TURN ON" a component, it must be designated as to TYPE, either
REGRIND, NATURAL, or ADDITIVE. Each is handled differently by the
MATH routines. The controller MUST know the material TYPE to know what
the setting means. This is IMPORTANT. Be SURE you UNDERSTAND this
section before trying to operate your system.
RATE CALIBRATION - Page 27 …………………… This is NOT really necessary. But if your system uses non-standard
equipment, you MAY want to do this.
SETTINGS & NORMAL OPERATION - Page 28 … From this point forward, operating your system is a snap. This section tells
you just how simple it is and exactly what to expect under normal operating
conditions.
SPECIAL FEATURES - Page 29 …………………... Your system can do much more then you may know. This page reviews
briefly some of the added features that are available to you and where in this
manual you can find them.

Assembly and Installation Instructions
CAUTION: LOAD CELLS ARE EASILY DAMAGED.
If the FRAME is dropped from TWO FEET, the load cells WILL BE DAMAGED.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGED LOAD CELLS.
The following items have been shipped to you:
1. FRAME and HOPPER assembly: (bolted to skid)
2. CONTROLLER BOX: with the instruction manual.
3. FEEDER BOX: contains a COLOR or ADDITIVE feeder: optional.
4. FLOW CONTROL ASSEMBLY: optional
5. FLOOR STAND or VACUUM TAKEOFF ASSEMBLY: optional
RED INSTRUCTION STICKERS will assist you during assembly.
LIFT HANGERS are available to allow lifting the blender with a strap or chain. Contact Maguire if
you require them.
1A. If your unit is to be MACHINE mounted:
For WSB MB, 100, 200, and 400 series models:
Two ways to do this are suggested ON THE NEXT PAGE:
The LEFT diagram shows the FRAME and SLIDE GATE both drilled with the proper bolt pattern for your
machine and THROUGH BOLTED to your press.
The RIGHT diagram shows only the 10 x 10 steel slide-gate plate drilled for your bolt pattern and bolted to
your press. The FRAME is then bolted to it using the existing 8 x 8 inch bolt pattern holes and bolts
provided. With this method, bolt head clearance holes are required in the poly-pro slide gate plate. This
mounting works well on smaller machines.
For WSB 900 and 1800 series models:
An additional machine mount adaptor plate may be required. If you have ANY DOUBT about the
STABILITY of the unit when bolted directly to your machine throat, please call us for advice.
NOTE: When choosing proper orientation, be sure to retain access to the
controller and weigh chamber, clearance for hinged doors, and access to
removable feeder hoppers.
1B. If your unit is STAND mounted:
A stand is provided and your unit will bolt directly to it. An assembly DIAGRAM is provided on the
following pages.
An air operated FLOW CONTROL ASSEMBLY is provided for dispensing into a container. The purpose
of this unit is to allow time for mixing to occur after each dispense. This flow valve keeps the mix chamber
full to just below the sensor. This assembly bolts directly to the bottom of the Weigh Scale Blender frame.

2. Slide the WEIGH BIN into position. It rests behind the clear-hinged access window.
Install with the air cylinder toward you. If bin is already in place, remove any shipping
materials, packing tape or string.
3. Hang the Color and Additive Feeders: (Optional)
a. Lift side latches and fully extend slide assembly. Remove the hopper. Leave slide
extended.
b. Tilting the entire slide assembly, motor end up, insert one corner of hanger cross bar behind
frame corner post.
c. Rotate assembly into place so both ends of cross bar are behind corner posts.
d. Lower into place, bottom edge resting on frame and cross bar properly positioned behind
corner posts.
e. Re-install hopper. Slide motor forward until latches engage.
4. Connect the Touchscreen to the mounting wing and plug in Touchscreen cable
(7-pin connector).
5. Plug the power cord coming from the power box into a 110-volt power source
(220 volt outside USA). This cord MUST provide the ONLY power source for the
entire system, including the controller. See: WIRING CONSIDERATIONS, next page.
1800 series blenders also require a 240-volt power source for the mix motors.
6. Connect Compressed Air to the unit. About 80 psi (5.5 bar) is recommended (40 psi
for the Micro Blender). Lubricated air is NOT recommended.
NOTE: Micro Blenders should be set to 40 psi (2.7 bar). The
Vertical Valves used in removable hoppers on Micro Blenders
are more accurate at the lower 40 psi pressure setting.
7. Remove all protective paper from the plastic windows.

Wiring Considerations
The wiring of your blender is very important to its proper operation. Electronics are very
susceptible to voltage spikes and static charges, both of which are very common in plastics
factories. To MINIMIZE these things, consider the following.
¾The power supply should be solid; a strong supply, not limited by a "just adequate" control
transformer. A source of voltage that comes from a large transformer that supplies a large
portion of the plant is better then a small power supply transformer that is intended to
supply only this device. Power supplies, even though they may be "isolation" transformers,
will still pass all voltage spikes right through. Their small size limits their ability to dampen
RF (Radio Frequency) noise that is often induced into the system from outside sources.
This proves worse then connection to larger central transformers.
¾Avoid running the power supply line along side any heavy power lines. An unshielded power supply
in a raceway along side other heavy power lines will pick up induced RF noise and transfer it into
the WSB steel enclosure causing computer trouble.
¾Long extension cords should be avoided. They also reduce the ability to provide a dampening
effect on spikes and static. The further the equipment is from a substantial power source, the more
susceptible it is to spikes.
¾The CONTROLLER and the WSB frame MUST share the same GROUND PATH. This is why you
MUST plug the controller into the OUTLET that is provided ON THE FRAME.
¾REMOTE SYSTEMS. If you have your controller mounted in a remote location, you will have a
number of power and signal cords running between the frame and the controller. BE SURE that
the LOW VOLTAGE lines are NOT BUNDLED to the HIGH VOLTAGE lines and keep them away
from other nearby electrical lines.
LOW VOLTAGE lines are: Load Cell cable, Level Sensor cord,
Air Solenoid cable, and Printer and communication cables.
HIGH VOLTAGE lines are: Mixer motor cable, Feeder motors,
and MAIN POWER line.
Keep these sets of cables SEPARATED.
¾VACUUM LOADER CONVEYING LINES. Keep them away from all electrical lines, particularly the
Load Cell lines. Conveying plastic produces extreme static sources. A power supply line, even in
conduit, that runs next to a vacuum line, can introduce extreme static pulses into the processor.
Keep conveying lines SEPARATED from electrical supply lines.
¾ We use many internal tooth "STAR" washers in assembling the WSB to ensure good ground
between painted parts. Do not remove them.
