Gravimetric Masterbatch Control · Cable

Get the colour right without over-dosing

Sheath colour is an identification standard, so masterbatch cannot be skimped. But it costs far more than base resin, and over-dosing is money burned. This system ties masterbatch feed to measured output and doses to ratio in real time — stable colour, no overshoot.

What is it

What the masterbatch control system is

The gravimetric masterbatch control system controls the weight per metre and, at the same time, automatically controls masterbatch dosing — the two functions combined into one control system.

The problem

What hand-dosed masterbatch costs

Every product has a different formulation, and for years masterbatch has been dosed mainly by hand — inaccurate additions and uneven mixing, which leave product quality unstable and add labour cost and needless effort.

And because it rests on the operator's diligence, a moment's lapse can cost the company dearly.

Advantages

System advantages

The masterbatch unit follows the extruder dynamically, holding the ratio at every moment

Closed-loop control — intelligent and precise

Continuous in-line dosing replaces slow, laborious hand-mixing

DC servo motor, maintenance-free

Automatic mixing device keeps the blend even

Low-level hardware and software control for reliable running

Application

Where it is used

Plastic film, cable, pipe, compounding and chemicals — and any industry that needs several components dosed to an exact ratio.
