What’s new? Two metering modes: reference additive and reference virgin. Strong vibrations or impacts can cause incorrect additive dosing; therefore, in reference additive mode, the blender instantly adjusts the quantity of virgin resin to maintain the proper ratio with the additive that already has been dosed. Reference virgin mode addresses the challenges of dosing additives into plastics reinforced with long glass fiber (LGF). In that mode, the quantities of the other components are adjusted based on the amount of virgin LGF resin ready to be blended.
Benefits Accurate metering and quality end products. The new metering modes prevent color fluctuations and wasted materials.
