MINICOLOR SG V
The volumetric additive dosing unit MINICOLOR SG V meets all important requirements when combining additives to the virgin material in an excellent quality. It has an excellent dosing accuracy and repeat accuracy. The installation of the MINICOLOR SG V in your system is extremely space-saving; it is mounted directly at the feed throat of the processing machine.
The mixing neck with integrated, cruciform stainless-steel inlet divides the main component from the additives into two material streams. These flow together before entering the processing machine and form a homogeneous mix.
With synchronous dosing, you can track the recipe accuracy and reproducibility at any time. This gives you a permanently good mixing quality of your recipe.
Mounting is super easy for the user due to the specially designed mounting flange. Drilling is not required. The unit is compatible with a wide range of feed throat sizes of processing machines and can therefore be used in many different ways.
The dosing screws are available in three different sizes. They are wear-free and can be changed or installed and removed without tools.
For a constant mass flow, the screws are mounted at an angle and are insensitive to vibrations.
Machine movements therefore have no influence on the dosing process. This improves dosing accuracy and prevents unwanted material slip from the screw.
The MINICOLOR SG V features swiveling dosing motors that can even be disassembled or replaced without tools. The motors in combination with motor drivers offer a high degree of accuracy and are maintenance-free.
Calibration is implemented by retracting the dosing module. The additive can be collected for measurement in the process. This simple process saves time and prevents material loss.
The quick-change system of the MINICOLOR SG V makes cleaning and material changeovers simple, fast and without tools. The removable supply hopper, the swivel mounted motor and the dosing screw with quick release connection for the user reduce the time required for cleaning. The complete dosing module can also be used as a color cassette – this also facilitates fast material changeovers without previous cleaning.
The METRO VL compressed air material loader is used for automatic filling of the additive supply hopper on the MINICOLOR SG V. The material loader can be set up simply by replacing the lid on the supply container. The level sensor in the bin of the METRO VL ensures that granules are always refilled in good time.
The intuitive touch-screen color display enables user-friendly operation of the MINICOLOR SG V.
- Suitable for up to two dosing modules
- Additive calibration assistant
- Alarm tracking
- Up to 100 recipes can be stored
