Renowned for its highly accurate inline dosing capabilities, this unit automatically weighs every granule to ensure the perfect blend, with Movacolor stating a dosing accuracy of up to 0.05%. Simple and easy to use, all you have to do is set your desired percentage of each material and the dosing unit takes over.
Even when faced with deviations from your production machine’s vibrations, the MDS Balance can precisely calculate the ‘loss-in-weigh’ of the material in your hopper. This exceptional accuracy makes it a preferred choice across various precision-demanding industries, such as injection moulding, extrusion, and blow moulding.
A Gravimetric Dosing unit is a specialised device used primarily in the plastics industry for the measurement and dispensation of materials based on their weight. Our systems operate on a ‘loss-in-weight’ technology, a mechanism that continuously monitors the storage and mass of a particular substance, dispensing it with an exceptional degree of accuracy.
The advantage of Gravimetric Dosers over other methods like Volumetric Dosing, which measure solely on volume, is its ability to offer superior control and precision.
Inaccurate material mixing can lead to inconsistent product quality and increased wastage. In preventing this, the Gravimetric Dosing Unit is crucial in environments where precise blending and exact proportions of materials are required.
Summit Plastics Automation provides a variety of dosing units, including Gravimetric and Volumetric Dosers, suitable for a variety of different applications.
