**Note: The blender monitors the operator’s entries and determines if the
recipe is valid before accepting the new recipe. If there is an error
(such as the recipe does not add up to 100% and the blender is in
Percentage Mode.) then a message is shown on the Recipe screen to
alert the operator of the problem. The “Accept New Recipe” button is
only shown if the recipe is valid and different from what is currently
running on the blender.
Recipes can also be changed while the blender is running. The new
accepted recipe is entered at the beginning of the next batch. This
allows the operator to modify the new recipe without affecting the
blender until they hit the “Accept New Recipe” button.
8. Recipe entry is complete.
9. To start the blender press “Push to Start or Stop” button.

5-7 Color Change
The color change procedure is meant for use with the basic SGB Blender. This
procedure assumes that the color component of the blend is in an additive
ingredient hopper (#2, #4, #5, or #6).
Note: The blender must be stopped to make color changes. The processing
machine can operate on virgin material only during this procedure with an
optional quick color change bypass tube that can be installed to bypass the
blender. Contact the factory for details.
1. Disable and clean any color loading equipment. Please refer to the
loading equipment manual for any clean up recommendations.
2. Using the blender “Abort” or “Push to Start or Stop” key, put the blender
in stop mode. After the cycle has completed, switch “OFF” the main
power switch and unplug the blender power supply.
3. Open the upper mixer access door. This shuts off air to the blender circuit
by deactivating the master air valve. Then unplug the quick disconnect
from the air supply hose to the blender to further ensure that no air
pressure is supplied to the blender.
WARNING!
• Always unplug the main power cord.
• Always disconnect the air supply to the blender.
