MGF Gravimetric Feeders
Robust hardware, integrated with industry-leading software control to achieve repeatable consistent dosing accuracy.
- Unique twin load cell technology
- Dosing accuracy ± 0.2% on 1% setting
- Feeder ideal for all molding and extrusion processes
Gravimetric Accuracy
Return on Investment
- MGF software and hardware reduce waste of colorants and additives drastically.
- Maguire Gravimetric Feeders eliminate manual handling and mixing and reduce operation costs.
- Save typically 30% on masterbatch costs compared to manual or volumetric dosing.
Twin Load Cells
- Lightweight aluminum hopper mounted on 2 load cells which measure the weight of the hopper and the material ONLY.
- Continuously monitors the loss-in-weight as material is dosed and automatically adjusts flow rate.
- Measuring only the hopper and masterbatch allows for finer resolution load cells versus weighing complete feeder assembly and motor. This achieves maximum accuracy and control.
Accuracy of ± 0.2%
- Automatic, continuous updates to flow rate calibration during production process.
- Stepper motor provides high resolution control to dose masterbatch accurately to ± 0.2%.
- Choice of dosing screws combined with software control provide industry-leading accuracy.
PRIME Calibration (patented)
- Fast-track calibration on startup. Fully automatic and ready within seconds.
- Primes screw and barrel with material, ready to start production.
- Quicker startups and reduced scrap rates.
100% Injection Coloring (patent pending)
- For critical additives, masterbatches and tints.
- All material in injection molding machine barrel is now colored and gaps are eliminated. No scrap.
- Ideal for fast cycling / small shot weight applications.
