Minicolor V ~ Volumetric dosing unit


The Motan 'original' volumetric dosing unit:

 
Overview
Mounted between the machine hopper and the feed throat of the plastics processing machine the MINICOLOR requires very little space.  A stainless steel cruciform in the mixing throat divides the main component into two streams of material.  They flow together with the additives at the feed inlet producing a excellent, consistent mixture every time.   Two dosing heads are available for dosing two additives at the same time if required.  Suitable for injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding etc. 

  • Simple
  • Robust
  • Reliable
  • Accurate



Control Systems
  • Color 'S' Control offers simple cost effective control for the Minicolor. 
  • Color 'A' Control allows easy calibration (accurate and reduces masterbatch / additive consumption), material alarm, external signals, interface connection and you can also save recipes for recall at a later date.  (Motan Color A  control is our recommended solution)



Options
  • Available in 3 dosing screw sizes for almost every application. 
  • Minicolor VL - venturi loader for automatic loading of masterbatch / additive.  Standard Motan single & 3 phase hopper loaders can also be used. 
  • Motan 15 litre material hopper also available, looks very smart and is also cost effective with hinged latching lid for operator safety and full length sight glass. 
  • Exchange hoppers.  Extra material hoppers allow the fastest possible colour / additive changeover times (15 secs) without any tools. 



Technical Summary
  • Injection Moulding ~ Any variation in the dosing time is automatically compensated by the Minicolor in order to maintain accuracy. 
  • Inclined dosing screw to prevent trickle due to machine vibration
  • Dosing into a 'void' via Motans special stainless steel cruciform (IMPORTANT)
    Number of dosing stations: 1 or 2
  • Total main material throughput - 120 kg/h
  • Brushless dosing motor for long life
  • Mounting flange is designed with elongated holes so that it will fit many feed throat sizes directly, without drilling.  Range 74-90mm
  • Various screw sizes (G1, G2 & G3) are available to suit almost all throughputs of masterbatch / additive from 0.15 kg to 27 kg/hr. 
  • Screws (G1-G3) are easily changed over without tools. 
  • Special screws are available for unusual granules and lower or even higher throughputs.
