Blender Assembly and Installation Instructions
Lifting Requirements
CAUTION: LOAD CELLS ARE EASILY DAMAGED. Always handle the blender
with care. To avoid shock damage to load cells avoid hard impact with floor or
equipment. Warranty coverage does not cover damaged load cells due to
mishandling.
CAUTION: Weigh Scale Blenders can be top-heavy. Always lift using attach points mounted to the top of
the frame of the blender. Do not lift from the hoppers or hopper extensions. Never use the air cylinders as
lifting points or handles as damage to air cylinders may occur. Eyebolts can be temporarily installed on the
top of the blender frame as a lifting point. Model 3000 blenders must be lifted from eyebolts installed on
the top of the feeder frame. Install at least two eyebolts on opposite sides of the blender frame. When
installing eyebolts, if an unused bolt hole is not available, a hopper bolt can be temporarily removed and
replaced with a ½” eyebolt for lifting purposes. Optional Lifting Hangers are available from Maguire
Products to allow lifting the blender with a strap or chain. Weight and dimensions of each model is listed
on page: 145.
Mounting the Blender
The machine and all supporting equipment must be
securely anchored in position prior to operational use.
1A. 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. Stand Mounted:
If you are mounting the blender on a
stand, your unit will bolt directly to the
stand.
An air operated FLOW CONTROL
ASSEMBLY (FCA) is provided for
dispensing into a container.
The purpose of the FCA is to allow
time for mixing to occur after each
dispense. This flow valve keeps the
mix chamber full to just below the
sensor.
The FCA 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.
On models 100, 200, and 400 install weigh bin with the air cylinder to the left. On
models 900, 1800, 2400 and 3000 install weigh bin with the air cylinder towards you.
On Micro Blenders, install the weigh bin with the load cell hanger to the left. 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. Place the controller on the support tray and plug in all cords:
a. Air solenoid 17 pin plug into the matching receptacle.
b. Auger feeder drive motors into duplex receptacle.
c. Mixer motor into right side of controller.
d. Sensor cord plug into front side of controller.
e. Load Cell plug into port on left side of controller.

5. Plug the CONTROLLER into the receptacle located under the controller tray.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT plug the controller into a separate power source.
The controller ground path MUST be the same as the blender frame
ground path. If your system has the controller located in a remote
location, MAKE CERTAIN that the power to the controller comes from
the receptacle mounted on the Blender frame.

Secure voltage supply cable per the requirements of EN 60204-1, Clause 13.4.2.
7. Connect Compressed Air to the unit. About 5.5 bar (80 psi) is recommended for
most models. 4.1 bar (60 psi) is recommended for: Micro Blender, 140R, 240R and
440R). Do not supply with lubricated air. Air provided to the blender should be clean
and dry. The coalescing filter is a final attempt to dry the air to protect the valves from
moisture contamination.
NOTE: Micro Blenders should be set to 4.1 bar (60 psi). The Vertical
Valves used in removable hoppers on Micro Blenders are more
accurate at the lower 4.1 bar (60 psi) pressure setting.
8. Upon completion of setup, an on-site safety inspection should be conducted to assess
for any additional safety hazards, before allowing the equipment to be handing off to the
machine operators.
