Resin diverter

Oct 14, 2005 2 Replies

I need to know the name and make of a diverter that was to be fitted in the lines between a vacuum loader and two bins of resin. By setting two separate times (2 digit push wheels), the flow was cycled to draw from each bin in turn, enabling the material to be proportioned. The device was air operated, with a constrictive rubber sleeve in each line controlling the resin flow. I think it was made in Denmark. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Ian In the UK you can purchase such a device from Colortronic. They are based in Sheffield, although the equipment is manufactured in Germany and should be avaialble throughout Europe. Not sure about the USA. I have used one of these devices for blending two grades of nylon in the ratio 85:15 and it was remarkably successful, even though Colortronic didn't reccomend it for this application. The design application is for blending virgin and regrind. You can find details at:
