The MCWeight is specially designed to measure the actual feed capacity of an extruder. It has an integrated weighing module to accurately measure throughput and an integrated knife valve to control the filling. Combined with one or more Movacolor units, the MCWeight tracks even the smallest capacity variation of the extruder. It adjusts the additive dosing from the dosing units accordingly. Dried material with a temperature up to 180°C can be handled with the MCWeight.
This throughputmeasurement system enables you to get the best out of your extrusion line. It gives you real time insight into your actual line capacity and tracks the consumption of your materials. In combination with our MCLine Control it can even control yourcomplete extrusion line including upstream and downstream equipment.
“The MCWeight made our extrusion process much more stable, which saved raw material, but also expensive additives such as dye and catalyst. But more importantly,we reduced our scrap by more than 70%.”
Out-of-the-box installation: Start working more efficiently quickly. This unit is easy to install and supplied pre-configured. Can be operated without extensive training together with the MCTouchscreen controller.
Reduce waste and save costs by producing more consistently.
Capable of dosing at extreme low- and high dosing rates.
Equiped with proven Movacolor dosing technology which gives you full control over your material input.
This unit is part of the Movacolor modular dosing concept and can easily be integrated and/or combined with all other products of the Movacolor product range.
Want to connect with other machine controllers or central monitoring systems? No problem. This unit is prepared to communicate via different protocols such as OPC-UA and Profinet.
