Volumetric additive feeders for injection and extrusion processes
In injection molding and extrusion processes, achieving a precise and consistent blend of materials is paramount. A key challenge is accurately metering color concentrate, regrind, and other additives into the flow of primary materials.
Precisely meter additives into material flow
The AF Series Volumetric Additive Feeders by AEC (ACS Group) ensure accurate and reliable metering of various additives, such as color concentrate and regrind. Designed with a modular structure, these feeders can handle one or two materials. Key features include a low-profile throat section and an easy-to-clean, interchangeable stainless steel auger assembly. The feeders introduce a free-flowing additive into the center of the primary materials’ flow, ensuring a consistent blend. These feeders can be used in virtually any injection or extrusion process, including as a starve feeder for extruders. Models AF-1, AF-2, and AF-200 offer specific configurations to suit different requirements, with options such as a push-button digital control display, variable speed drive motor, and stainless steel components.
