Colorblend ® is designed for small to mediumsizedinjection molding machines as well asvarious extrusion applications.The high level of dosing accuracy, simpleoperation, and quick cleaning makesColorblend ® a highly valued tool for plasticprocessors.FunctionColorblend ® offers you a wide variety of configurationsand easily integrates with vacuumconveying systems.Colortronic’s unique disc dosing system givesyou a consistent, accurate blend from the topof the feed hopper to the bottom. Unlike otherdosing methods, Colorblend ® ’s dosing is extremelyaccurate on a shot to shot or secondto second basis. This dosing accuracy allowsprocessors to optimize recipes and realizesavings.Further savings are gained from Colorblend ® ’sability to automatically adjust its dosing timeto the cycle of the injection molding machineor the screw speed of the extruder. Dosingis precisely synchronized with the processmachine.Blending units which require mechanical mixingcan cause de-mixing when trying to combinea granular additive with powder resins.Colorblend ® doses the additive synchronouslyinto the flow of base resins, which eliminatesthe need for mechanical mixing.Synchronous dosing guarantees homogenousblending without risk of segregation, evenwhen processing minute quantities.1 2 3
