A blender

A blender (1) has a frame (2). A number of raw material storage bins (3) are mounted at a top of the frame (2). Suspended on the frame (2) beneath the raw material storage bins (3) is a weigh hopper (4). Mounted beneath the weigh hopper (4) on the frame (2) is a mixing chamber (5) for reception of materials to be blended from the weigh hopper (4). A mixer, in this case provided by a mixing screw (6), is provided at a bottom of the mixing chamber (50 for blending materials within the mixing chamber prior to discharge of blended materials through a material outlet (7) at a bottom of the mixing chamber (5). The material outlet (7) discharges blended material into a material discharge pipe (8) and through an outlet duct (9) having a flanged end (10) for mounting the blender (1) on a processing line such as a plastics extruder. The mixing chamber (5) is mounted on a cantilevered support platform (12) on a base plate (140 of the frame (2) and cooperates with a load cell (15) mounted on the base plate (14) to provide a measurement of the weight of the mixing chamber and materials therein to determine the weight of the materials within the mixing chamber. <Figure 1>
