Materials handling from motan: Simple solutions for advanced customer needs

High-performance all-in-one solutions for the reliable handling of all materials used in plastics technology - from complex recycling materials to standard granules to low-flow powders - are the strengths of motan-colortronic. Components for storage, drying, conveying, mixing, dosing and controls as well as comprehensive planning know-how lead to efficient, process-safe solutions. At the Fakuma 2017 devices equipped with new functions as well as revised modules will be shown.

MINIBLEND V with powder dosing

MINIBLEND V

The powerful volumetric working and precise dosing and mixing unit MINIBLEND V can now be expanded with a powder dosing system. The additive dosing unit provides excellent recipe accuracy and reproducibility, which can be tracked at any time. Typical applications are, for example, the injection molding of opaque and translucent parts.

With an optional mixer module, the extremely homogenous incorporation of powdered components into complex compounds is possible. Other possible applications are the homogenization of regrinds in virgin material or masterbatch in virgin material and regrind. Freely selectable mixing parameters ensure high flexibility. The mixer module is easy to clean and low on maintenance and wear. This makes retrofitting quick and safe.

Dry-air-dryer of the new LUXOR series

Also, the MINIBLEND V can be equipped with a new glass machine hopper with a height-adjustable level probe. The user has a comfortable way to monitor the material level of the main component with alarm evaluation with the VOLUnet MC control.

Material drying - compact, mobile and flexible

For the drying of small material throughputs or for individual applications, motan-colortronic has developed the new, mobile series of dry-air-dryers LUXOR E A and LUXOR EM A. Equipped with a fixed drying bin, the mobile dryers will be offered with 60, 100 or 150-liter drying bin volume. motan-colortronic supplies the dryers completely pre-assembled with all customer-selected options.

After a short installation, the dry-air-dryers are immediately ready for use. Only the hopper loaders must be installed after delivery. A plus is the very compact design: With a depth of only 600 millimeters, the dryers can be used flexibly even in very narrow production areas.

Coupling system METROCONNECT U / C

The next level in material selection

With the new coupling system METROCONNECT U / C, motan-colortronic provides a high-quality, manual coupling station for vacuum conveying systems. Easy to use, safe and reliable in the process even with difficult materials, it forms a cost-effective entry into the central material supply. The customer can choose from an uncoded version and a coded version with RFID technology.

Redesign for the most flexible hopper loaders on the market

The highly successful METRO G loader system, which is extremely flexible thanks to its modular design, has been further improved in cooperation with customers. The user-friendliness and ease-of-maintenance are the main advantages of the design changes and unification of components.
