Inline Blending
Systems

Eliminate batch tanks and reduce labor involvement.

Inline Blending System

Inline Blending is the best way to make your factory more efficient and increase production capacity. Inline Blending Systems replace costly batch tanks and allow accurate ratio control and blending of liquid ingredients.

Intelligent Engineering Meets Customer Service

Design customization is essential to success and Sonic’s TechBlend systems all start with intelligently engineered designs. We meet with you one-on-one to discuss your inline blending requirements and typically assist in development of the overall process.  In many cases, customers are looking to eliminate batch tanks and reduce operator involvement in order to save on costs and reduce errors. 

Tech Blend Blending Systems

OVERVIEW

The constant manual transfer of ingredients to a batch mixing tank at proper weight and proper ratio is time consuming and prone to errors and poor ratio control.  Sonic, with its wealth of experience with factories and plants, helps deduce the best inline blending process approach based on your environment and existing capabilities.

The design of our TechBlend blending systems starts with an understanding of PD pumps and flow meter control and ends with PLC automation that ties it all together. Sonic has numerous in-house capabilities including 3D AutoCAD modeling, PLC and HMI programming, VFD cabinet design and fabrication, orbital welding, and much more.

HOW IT WORKS

Each customized system uses PD pumps and flow meters to simultaneously meter and blend various fluids at different recipe values into an inline mixing device. PID loop control of the pumps based on flow meter readings provides outstanding ratio control between ingredients. A PLC functions as the heart of the system to keep all pumps running at their prescribed rates and protect against out-of-ratio blends. Inline instrumentation for pH, conductivity, brix and more can be added to any system.

Inline blending is fundamental to process
efficiency and product quality.

TYPICAL BLENDING SYSTEM

On the factory floor, TechBlend customized Blending Systems provide excellent reliability and control.

Liquid ingredients are now metered accurately from bulk or small vessels or containers using PD pumps and mass flow meter technology. Reliable pumps are chosen from a variety of sources. Fully automated PLC, HMI and VFD cabinets are designed and fabricated by Sonic. This guarantees that your continuous blending system is delivered ready for operation right out of the crate.  With Sonic’s attention to every manufacturing detail, you get outstanding craftsmanship coupled with functional design.  We are an American Manufacturer, and we take great pride in our work!
