1. Virgin Material Inlet (Side Flange + Anti-Bridge Cone)
Feeds new virgin EPS beads into the mixing chamber from the upstream pre-expander or material silo. Anti-bridge cone design prevents bead bridging that would interrupt the recycled-to-virgin ratio.
DN150 mm welded steel side flange with bolt-pattern compatible with pneumatic conveying duct OR auger discharge. Anti-static powder coating prevents bead clumping in dry climates. Optional load cell on inlet conveyor for gravimetric ratio control (premium accuracy plus or minus 1 percent).
