What fibre blending systems do

Fibre blending systems meter multiple material inputs into a controlled and consistent flow so downstream machinery receives a uniform blend of material.

Typical systems include bale openers, weighing, cross conveyors, fine opening and a reserve hopper or blending bin to maintain continuous material flow and consistent output quality.

Where blending systems are used

Blending systems are used throughout the textile sector, such as nonwoven products like needle-punched felts or web forming polyester products. They are also used in natural fibre preparation processes where variation in material density and composition must be controlled before further processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, why not get in touch...

Can you blend recycled and virgin fibres?

Blending setups are designed around your fibre types, target ratios, and downstream process. We can confirm ratios and targets during enquiry.

What weighing method is used?

Options commonly include weigh hoppers, cross conveyors, reserve hoppers and blending bins. The exact configuration depends on your material and process requirements.

Do you supply ducting and fans?

Yes. Fibre transport and conveying can be discussed as part of the wider opening and blending system.
