Maguire Gravimetric Feeders (MGF) offer precision dosing solutions that drastically reduce raw material waste and operational costs, making them an essential tool for manufacturers, especially when raw materials account for up to 70% of annual production expenses.
By automating material handling and eliminating manual mixing, MGF feeders ensure accuracy and efficiency with dosing rates up to 18 kg/hr for injection and 55 kg/hr for extrusion.
Selecting the right feeder can lead to substantial long-term savings and enhanced production flexibility, helping businesses maximise cost control and future-proof their operations.
The MGF Gravimetric Feeders from Maguire are designed to cater to a wide range of applications, providing precise and efficient dosing solutions for both moulding and extrusion processes. For injection moulding, the feeders ensure continuous accuracy, delivering exact amounts of critical additives, colours, and tints throughout the entire shot.
With advanced integration options, the system is adaptable to both newer and older machines. In extrusion applications, MGF offers complete control with various extrusion modes that automatically adjust dosing based on real-time data, significantly reducing material waste and improving operational efficiency.
This versatility, combined with seamless integration and savings in material costs, makes the MGF ideal for virtually any production environment.
The MGF feeders are designed to handle various dosing requirements with precision. For injection moulding applications, they can dose up to 18 kg/hr, while for extrusion processes, they handle up to 55 kg/hr. This flexibility ensures that the MGF can meet the needs of different production environments, delivering accurate, consistent dosing of masterbatch and additives.
The MGF boosts production efficiency by automating material handling, eliminating the need for manual mixing, and ensuring precise dosing. This reduces the risk of human error, decreases material waste, and cuts operational costs. The feeder continuously monitors and adjusts the flow rate in real-time, maintaining optimal accuracy throughout the production process, which helps minimise downtime, reduce scrap, and streamline operations.
With raw materials contributing up to 70% of a processor’s annual operating costs, the MGF plays a crucial role in reducing waste and maximising material usage. Its precise dosing ensures that only the necessary amount of masterbatch or additive is used, leading to less overconsumption. By cutting waste and optimising material usage, the MGF helps businesses achieve significant long-term savings and increases production flexibility, making it a highly effective tool for managing operational expenses.
