Key Features
  • Three standard modes of operation: cyclical, continuous, and extrusion following.
  • Automatic re-calibration to maintain feed rate accuracy within ±0.2%.
  • User-friendly microprocessor controller with intuitive setup and data collection capabilities.
  • Eliminates downtime associated with color changes through automatic re-calibration.

Technical Specifications
The document lists specifications for different models (MGF-3-ST, MGF-4-ST, MGF-8-ST) including auger diameters, minimum and maximum rates, and injection shot sizes. It also details the configuration options for stepper motors and voltage signals.

Product Information
  • Shipping weight is 44lb (20kg).
  • Various conversion kits and remote controller options are available.
  • Venturi Loader System ensures dosing accuracy and is automatically activated by the MGF controller.

How It Works
The feeder uses loss-in-weight technology for automatic calibration, eliminating manual procedures. It features dual load cells for accurate readings and easy assembly and removal of components. The microprocessor controller offers easy setup with large keypads and a backlit LCD display.
