Abstract
An improved system and method is disclosed for compounding batches of a plurality of constituents in accordance with a predetermined formula. The individual batch constituents are sequentially fed into a batch receiving hopper. Feeding of each constituent is controlled in response to the current weight of the constituent in the hopper and the current rate at which the constituent is being fed. Preferably, feeding is accomplished at a plurality of decreasing rates with the fastest rate maintained for a maximum time to minimize the total time required to compound the batch.
