Product catalog summary
Overview
The document introduces Movacolor's gravimetric batch blenders, designed for precision handling of various materials in plastic production. These blenders are available in 19 standard configurations, customizable to fit specific production processes.

Movacolor Modular Dosing and Blending Concept
Movacolor aims to support sustainability in plastic production through a modular dosing and blending concept. This allows manufacturers to process recycled materials efficiently, reduce waste, and save costs. The solutions are robust, made from stainless steel, and integrate with Industry 4.0 technologies.

Key Features of Movacolor Blenders
  • 5-year warranty and global support.
  • Designed and assembled in the Netherlands.
  • Intuitive design with no mechanical parts inside hoppers.
  • High accuracy and unmatched mixing performance.
  • Portable touchscreen controller for easy operation.

MBS and MHBS Blender Series
The MBS and MHBS series are compact and robust, suitable for injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion. They offer quick material changes, smart maintenance, and high accuracy in dosing.

Overdrive Mode
This mode, also known as semi-gravimetric mode, increases throughput by about 50% by alternating between gravimetric and volumetric cycles.

Hopper Configurations
  • 20-series: 20-liter mixing chamber, 2 to 8 hoppers, max batch size of 7.5 kg.
  • 3-series: 3-liter mixing chamber, 2 to 4 hoppers, max batch size of 1.4 kg.

MHBS Hybrid Blenders
These blenders combine blending with inline dosing, reducing material costs by up to 20% and ensuring batch homogeneity. They are particularly effective when working with expensive additives.

Specifications
  • Gravimetric throughput up to 1600 kg/h.
  • Handles granules, powders, regrinds, and liquids.
  • Configurable with up to 6 gravimetric feeders.

Installation Options
  • Mezzanine floor mount for easy cleaning and access.
  • Off-line frame for central blending and maintenance flexibility.
  • Throat mount for mix control and space-saving.

Accessories
  • Various loaders and frames for different material handling needs.
  • Smart monitoring and reporting tools.

— Gravimetric mode — Overdrive mode 20-SERIES 3-SERIES MBS 33 400 KG/H What is overdrive mode? Overdrive mode, also known as the semi-gravimetric mode, provides about 50% extra throughput. Once the blender has reached the accurate flow rates for each material in full gravimetric mode, it can run several cycles in volumetric mode, dispensing components simultaneously without weighing. This results in a notable increase in throughput. Subsequently, after a series of volumetric cycles, it will automatically initiate a gravimetric cycle to recalibrate its settings, followed by another volumetric...

Mounting the throat of the primary machine is ideal for mix control, minimum cleaning and saving floor-space. Mounting on a frame next to the primary machine is ideal for central blending, quick material changes, easy cleaning and provides the flexibility for convenient maintenance on the primary machine (only 3-series off-line frame can be rolled away). Mounting on a mezzanine floor is ideal for quick material changesand provides easy cleaning and access to the top of the primary machine.
