MGF
Gravimetric Feeder
Simple, Accurate, Affordable
The MGF proven loss-in-weight technology
automatically calibrates itself, totally eliminating manual catch-and-weigh
calibration procedures and even more common and erroneous guessing of
metering rates.
- No tools required for assembly or removal
of load cell assembly, hopper and metering device
- The throat adapter fits readily on most
processing machine throats and easily supports nearly any main material
supply hopper
| Dual Load Cells |
No Tools Required |
 |
 |
Hopper is mounted on two load cells
to prevent distorted readings from
cantilevered loads in the hopper.
|
Load cell assembly slips easily into place.
The metering device is locked in place by two
clips and can be quickly removed.
|
| Fast Clean-out and
Replacement |
 |
Aluminum hopper with brushed exterior
holds up to 25 lb of concentrate. Easy
removal and replacement of supply
hopper allows fast color change.
Spare supply hoppers are available. |
Eliminate Waste of
Colorants and Additives
This compact loss-in-weight additive feeder precisely measures the amount
of additive that is fed directly into the machine throat to eliminate costly
waste.
Standard features:
For
Injection or Extrusion
Quickly choose either the injection on extrusion mode and save. |
Easy-to-Use Microprocessor Controller Saves Time
Use-friendly controller has intuitive setup procedure |
Reduces
Input Error
The easiest setup procedure in the industry: enter let-down ratio and
either shot weight or lb/hr output and press start. Feeder
automatically adjusts to screw recovery time and extruder output. |
Detailed
Documentation of Color Usage
Microprocessor control provides detailed records for entire production
run, including shot-by-shot account of color dosing (Available
September 2008) |
Automatic
Re-calibration Ensures Continuous Accuracy
Automatic adjustments guarantee that feed rate is held to within ±
0.2% of desired letdown ratio. |
Eliminates
Downtime Associated with Color Change
Feeder automatically re-calibrates to new color so no additional setup
required. Spare hoppers available for faster color changes. |
Dual Load
Cells
Balanced load readings improve accuracy |
Automatic
Venturi Loading Device
Optional, fast hopper loading, upon signal from controller, when
material level reaches 10% of hopper capacity |
