The feederthen uses a feedscrew assembly to meter the additive material intothe primary material stream passing through the neckpiece. Theadditive feed rate is selected and controlled by a solid-state con-troller that controls the speed of the motor that drives the feed-screw. Multiple feeders can be used to introduce several materialsinto the neckpiece at the same time. If the application calls for more direct control of the primary materi-al being fed, or if up to eight different materials need to be blendedsimultaneously, the PLASTORE Mixing Station may be the best choicefor the application.

The additive feedrate is selected and controlled by a solid-state controllerthat controls the speed of the motor that drives the feed-screw. A number of interchangeable feedscrew sizes areavailable for each feeder to provide feed rates that rangefrom a couple of ounces-per-hour to 5,000 PLASTICOLOR ADVANTAGES motor with closed-loop speedcontrol and precision feedscrews assure accurate, con-sistent feed Plasticolor is built to last!

Whether the fed material is strand-cut, dice-cut, or round or square .. big or your Plasticolor can be custom configured to handle itout of standard components. Interchangeable feed-screws allow the same feeder to be used to feed ouncesor pounds of material.

6 Multiple Plasticolor feeders onthe same neckpiece solve the problem of feeding multi-ple additives at the same Custom neckpieces and hoppers can be specified to tailor the Plasticolor to your application. Standard options include items such as:Hopper Loaders, Feeder Speed-to-Extruder SpeedSynchronizers, Feeder Dosage Size Limiters, CustomControl Cabinets, Hopper Level Alarms, and SpecialFeedscrews .. all designed to optimize the Plasticolorfor your specific PC3000 is designed forlarger production machines. A choiceof eight different feedscrews and multiplemotor speeds provide an extraordinarily wide feedrate range of a few ounces-per-hour to 1,760pounds-per-hour.
