OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS MINICOLOR

Operation
MINICOLOR
5.3.4 Production with extruders
− Calibration is concluded
− Set the selector switch (2, Fig 5-10) to "Ext."
Set the timer to the smallest time unit = 0,1 seconds
the dosing station is operating for so long as an external contact from the extruder is on
5.3.5 Calibration - with injection moulding machines - with MINICOLOR S1T control unit
With injection moulding machines (and with cyclical plasticising blow moulding machines), dosing is effected
via a determined runtime of the dosing motor. Dosing is actuated by an external contact from the processing
machine.
Calibration is effected in three working steps:
1. Calculating the dosing throughput of the dosing station in kg/h
− Put the selector switch (2, Fig. 5-13) to "Cont."
− Read motor speed, according to the desired
dosing throughput, from the appropriate
performance/speed scale ( Fig 5-14) and
enter in the decade switch (1, Fig. 5-13)
