Design and mode of operation MINICOLOR

3.1

3 Design and mode of operation3.1 Function principle

The MINICOLOR pigment mixing unit mixes the masterbatch into the main material flow.It can be operated with one or two dosing units, i.e. two color components can can be handled.

The control unit receives a signal from the processing machine. The control unit converts this signal andtransmits it to the dosing motor. As long as the signal is active, the dosing motor operates with the presetspeed.If the control unit is equipped with a timer, the operation period of the dosing motor can be set when a startsignal is issued.

The dosing screw (2, Fig. 3-1) which is driven by the dosing motor (1) conveys the additive component intothe mixing unit (5).The material flow of the main component is divided into two parts (view X, Fig. 3-1) via the material spreader(4).The main component and the additive component (masterbatch) merge in the mixing neck (3). The storagebin with the dosing screw can be exchanged completely. Thus, different dosing throughputs with differentdosing screws and a quick color change are possible.
