GRAVIMETRIC ADDITIVE FEEDERS Model TF01AA with handfill hopper lid NO MORE WASTING EXPENSIVE COLORANT Optimize your feeding process with the Milacron TrueFeed gravimetric feeder. Units are simple to install and use, extremely accurate and economical. These color and additive feeders deliver accurate feeding rates on the basis of continuous loss-in-weight metering technology with closed-loop control of the feeding speed. The TrueFeed can be used in injection molding, extrusion and blow molding processes. All operate with the same bi-lingual, user-friendly control. Unlike volumetric feeders the new gravimetric feeders from Milacron are self-calibrating, adjusting automatically for changes in material type, bulk density or pellet geometry. Color changes are quick - under 60 seconds - and easy. The TrueFeed does not require time-consuming color calibration when materials are changed. Each feeder is equipped with a throat adapter that fits between the machine hopper and the throat. The feeder installs easily to the adapter allowing additives to be metered by the dispensing cylinder into the flow of material as it passes through the adapter. Metering and feeding additives at the throat result in even greater savings in material inventory and colorant over traditional pre-colored, centrally blended materials or imprecise volumetric technologies. / Reduce your material costs The consistency of this feeder ensures that every pellet counts. Absolutely no material waste. Unique dispensing cylinder eliminates pulsing outputs of auger and pocket type feeders. / Increased productivity The TrueFeed does not require time-consuming color calibration when materials are changed. Eliminates machine downtime associated with conventional volumetric feeders. / Unbeatable accuracy The dispensing cylinder is driven by a stepper motor for consistent speed. The design ensures that the colorant is dispensed evenly, extremely accurately, and without any pulsation from the cylinder into the plastic, giving you maximum control of the process and the end product. / Super simple to use Injection molders, simply set the additive percentage, enter the shot weight, screw recovery time and press start. For extrusion processes the unit can be run open-loop or slaved to the extruder (extrusion tracking). Touch Control also available. / Fast return-on-investment Call today! These value-priced units quickly pay for themselves in material savings and machine uptime.
