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.

• Huge masterbatch savings
• Advanced accuracy
• The only instant auto self- calibrating unit
• Continuous loss-in-weight measuring
• 100% injection dosing, not just during screw back
• Integrated hopper loader control option
• Proven reliability with 5 year warranty

Volumetric dosing units from Movacolor, add additive on the basis of volume with an extensive track record across multiple conditions all over the industry. Proving their value since the founding of Movacolor, these units are installed in factories all over the world and can operate under almost any conditions.

Depending on the material, the unit can be tailormade for dosing free-flowing powders, regrinds or normal granulates. Additive is added on the basis of volume.

Entry level unit for dosing additive/masterbatch or free flowing powders. Volumetric doser suitable for all sizes of extruders and injection machines. Additive dosing throughput 0.07-180kg/hr.

• Quick and easy colour changes: <60 seconds
• Robust and easy to clean
• Accurate dosing techniques for dosing masterbatch, powder and regrind
• Low investment, high savings
• Twin system available

Product Highlights

Reusing rejects and sprues in the form of regrind can result in saving substantial amounts of colorant. The secret? Dosing masterbatch, powder, liquid, or another additive and regrind simultaneously.

One dosing unit of the MCS Regrind (formerly MC Twin) from Movacolor functions as the main unit and doses regrind, while the second operates in conjunction with the main unit and doses the additive. In practice, this means that the more regrind available, the less colourant is added, enabling you to avoid over-consumption of additives and to reuse the maximum of regrind.

The process is fully automatic so you always dose the maximum percentage of available regrind. The quality remains constant, and production can continue running 24/7.

• Continuous loss-in-weight measuring
• Reuse the maximum of regrind
• Automatic colouring correction
• 8″ full colour touchscreen
• Easy to install
• Integrated hopper loader control
• Smart footprint

The MDS Balance Powder from Movacolor (formerly MC Powder) was designed for trouble free dosing of non-free-flowing powders. A truly unique product that makes you forget any powder dosing problems you may have.

Expensive powder additives with high impact on your injection moulding or extrusion process will benefit from this unique technology from our highly experienced supplier of in-line dosing equipment. This powder dosing unit can dose as low as 100g/hr but can also dose up to 40kg/hr.

This unit operates as a single unit, but can be integrated with Movacolor continuous blending system, allowing to add the most difficult powders to the blend of your extruder.

• Simplifies non-free-flowing powder dosing
• Extremely accurate and robust
• 8″ full colour touch screen display with integrated hopper loader
• Double spiral design for reliable dosing
• Capacity – 100g – 40kg/h
• Hopper agitator ensures freedom from clogging
• Quick release coupling for easy cleaning

Product Highlights

The revolutionary Optometric Doser, MDS 200 Compact Feeder from Movacolor, is the new standard for dosing extreme small amounts of masterbatch. It is an ultra-compact dosing unit, able to dose pellet by pellet masterbatches or additives in various shapes and sizes. For different small injection moulding machines, we have adapters available.

The MDS 200 Compact Feeder (formerly known as Micro Doser) is designed for easy installation on all Movacolor neckpieces and is easily operated by means of the Movacolor touch screen controller which enables users to work with recipes and monitor dosages. The dosing disc of the Compact Feeder doses the additive pellet by pellet according to the calculated production capacity, making it possible to dose at ultralow range up to 5 pellets per second.

• Best in dosing at extremely low dosage rates
• Only doser on the market that can dose pellet by pellet
• Highly advanced optical pellet detection system
• Completely 3D printed body
• Recipes storage function
• 8” full colour touch screen
• Equipped with a quick release coupling, allowing easy colour change

The MCS Off-line Dosing Add-On is an expansion of the MDS Balance (formerly known as the MCBalance) Gravimetric Dosing Unit, meticulously designed to cater primarily to the medical clean-room market. What makes this Dosing Configuration different from the rest, is that it is mounted away from the production process, but still delivers the expected precision while eliminating the high-risk tasks associated with working on top of injection moulding machines or extruders. This not only ensures greater accuracy but also reduces the influence of vibrations on the dosing process, enhancing overall operational efficiency and safety.

The Off-line dosing add-on simplifies the dosing process by bringing it to ground level and transporting the dosed material through a hose to the material inlet.

• Minimise high risk work on top of the production machine
• Perform material changes with ease on ground level
• Ideal for heavy vibrating production machines
• Save time on maintenance
• Transport capacity up to 32 kg/h
• Configurable with a 6, 12 or 15L Hopper
• Positioned on a movable trolley or frame

• Typically 20% Masterbatch savings against volumetric
• 8” full colour touchscreen
• Wide range of dosing capability from 0.07 – 180 kg/h
• Continuous loss-in-weight measuring
• Automatic material calibration
• 1 minute set-up! <60 second clean down
• Recipe storage
