The
Plasticolor 2000 GR is
a single gravimetric feeder. The unit accurately feeds free
flowing color and additives at the throat of extrusion, blow molding
and injection molding machines. The system incorporates a
special algorithm that filters out vibrations and movement from mold
clamping making it suitable for use on injection molding
machines.
The
Plasticolor 2000 GR is fully backwards
compatible with older Plasticolor units meaning an easy upgrade. Save
$$ by using your existing body casting, motor and controller. An integrated venturi
loader is included
with the system
The
GRAVIBELT is a single
gravimetric beltfeeder. The unit accurately feeds free
flowing color and additives at the throat of extrusion, blow molding
and injection molding machines. The system incorporates a
special algorithm that filters out vibrations and movement from mold
clamping making it suitable for use on injection molding machines. The
Gravibelt offers a wide dynamic feed range
under one
setup. With a feed rate from 1 oz to 100
lbs/hr for pellets and 0.5 oz to 30 lbs/hr for micro pellets. Isolated
10/100 Ethernet makes possible the retrieval of production information.
An integrated venturi loader is included with the system
AC motor
and Control Yaskawa
V7 AC controller installed in an enclosure that meets NEMA type 4X/12
indoor use requirements. We have paired the V74X AC drive
with a custom designed Groschopp AC gear motor. Existing Plastore
feeders can be easily upgraded to this AC drive system.
The Plastore Automatic Color Change System provides a simple and automated means for on-stream transitions between color recipes utilizing existing feeders and Mixing Stations. The system allows control and monitoring for two feeders, and provides a touch-screen interface for easy operator interaction. All interaction with the system is done using the touch screen interface.
The touch screen senses capacitance, not pressure, so only a light touch with a finger or stylus is required.
Water cooled sleeve for temperature sensitive materials. The water cooled sleeve extends through the material stream and drops the additive in the center of the main material. The mixing takes place directly in the center of the neckpiece. By dropping the additive in the center of the neckpiece, our unit prevents the additive from adhering to the sides of the neckpiece. This configuration simplifies cleanout and additive changes.
The
Plastore Web Enabled Remote Feeder Control software
utility allows users to monitor and interact with individual feeders or
mixing stations via a Windows based PC environment using the standard
Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser as the primary interface.
Feeders may be started and stopped, and motor speeds may be adjusted
on-the-fly to suit changing requirements. Motor RPM and Feeder Status
are displayed in Real-Time as data is passed back to the web server
from PLC controllers via serial or Ethernet communications. In
addition, recipes may be created and stored to define standard
production runs for repeatable manufacturing results
QUICK
DRAIN. Quick drain will
allow you to drain the Plasticolor hopper with minimal material loss.
The Quick drain slidegate assembly fits all Plasticolor 2000 and 3000.
