Sackett blend towers offer the ultimate blend speed and quality.  Raw materials are stored in a cluster bin overhead.  

Overhead Storage: The bin typically has nine compartments, with six "major" bins and three "micro" bins.  A common size is 130 tons of overhead storage, with six 20 ton bins and three 3-1/3 ton bins.  Other sizes are available.  

Batch Weighing:  Most Sackett blend towers have a weigh hopper under the overhead cluster bin.  The operator transfers via gravity each ingredient for the batch into the weigh hopper.  

Blending: The weighed batch is then transferred via gravity into the blender.  Sackett offers a variety of blenders for towers, including orbital, vertical auger, and paddle type.  Blender size ranges from 4 to 10 tons.  

Common Options:  

bulletTwo blenders instead of one.  
bulletBlender placed on scales to eliminate separate weigh hopper.
bulletComputer control system.
