MDS Nexus

The revolutionary patented MDS Nexus is the new standard for dosing extreme small amounts of masterbatch. It is an ultra-compact dosing unit, able to dose pellet by pellet masterbatches or additives in various shapes and sizes. The workingprinciple is simple. A standard compressed air supply creates vacuum via an air cartridge. A dosing disc captures the individual pellets piece by piece. Optional feature on the MDS Nexus is a mini hopper loader or a mounting bracket for air components (Air on Deck). Finally, the pellet is discharged with the same compressed air. Result: counting pellets with 100% accuracy.

To reduce the number of components the MDS Nexus is manufactured by 3D printing. This gives the opportunity to customize the connection to the production machine. The MDS Nexus is only about 200 mm long, so it will fit on any small scale machine. Itis suitable for high precision injection molding, including medical, automotive, and electronics, as well as low-rate extrusion. Ultraconcentrated colors and additives now become easy to dose.
