Big Hopper Blender for Nonwoven Production
The ZHOU JI Big Hopper Blender is designed to uniformly mix different fibers and provide a stable, consistent fiber blend for downstream nonwoven processing. Variable-frequency speed control, multi-point photoelectric level detection and a configurable return-fiber airflow system help maintain reliable blending under different production requirements.
Big Hopper Blender Overview
Uniform Fiber Blending
Mixes different fibers to create a more consistent raw-material blend before feeding and carding.
Controlled Fiber Storage
Multi-point photoelectric detection controls the fiber level inside the hopper to support stable blending.
Production Matching
Variable-frequency speed control allows the machine to adapt to different production requirements.
Key Features
Multiple Fiber Blending Options
The machine can be configured for different fiber blending requirements and includes a dust collection system.
Variable-Frequency Speed Control
Adjustable speed control helps match the blender to different line capacities and process conditions.
Multi-Point Level Detection
Photoelectric detection at multiple points controls the stored fiber level and supports consistent blending.
Airflow Management
A customized return-fiber system can be configured to reduce the influence of airflow on fiber circulation and blending.
Dust Collection
The integrated dust collection arrangement supports cleaner fiber handling during blending.
Suitable Fibers & Applications
Suitable fiber types depend on the complete production process and required blend.
Suitable Fibers
- The machine is intended for applications where two or more fiber components require uniform mixing before downstream processing.
Typical Applications
- Needle punched nonwovens
- Nonwoven geotextiles
- Automotive interior nonwovens
- Industrial filter felt
- Needle punched carpet
- Synthetic leather substrates
Big Hopper Blender Production Process
The highlighted stage shows where the Big Hopper Blender is used within the nonwoven production process. The exact upstream and downstream equipment depends on the finished product and line configuration.
During operation, opened fibers enter the hopper for storage and mixing. Controlled fiber circulation and level detection help maintain a stable blend before the material is delivered to the next feeding stage.
Technical Specifications
Specifications are based on the supplied product document. Final machine configuration should be confirmed according to the production process and product requirements.
