Extrusion International 1-2020

50 Extrusion International 1/2020 MATERIAL HANDLING SPECTROPLUS- One dosing system for all applications in extrusion and compounding The new synchronous dosing and mixing system SPEC- TROPLUS was developed for extrusion and compound- ing. With their modular design it is suitable for a large range of different materials – from powders, granulates and regrinds to liquids and flakes. Additionally, the syn- chronous dosing unit can be augmented with the SPEC- TROFLEX dosing modules, which are also available as gravimetric or volumetric versions. The SPECTROPLUS is controlled with the brand new SPEC- TROnet control, which can control both the volumetric and gravimetric SPECTROPLUS dosing modules as well as external dosing units. METROFLOW – gravimetric vacuum conveying for precise material throughput control These gravimetric material loaders are used in pneumatic conveying systems, for example to convey material from a silo to a drying bin or to the procesing machine. With their extremely precise weighing technology, the ME- TROFLOW loaders are particularly suited for monitoring material consumption in real time, which means that the units are predestined for use in an Industry 4.0 environ- ment. With a selection of dosing and conveying devices, motan- colortronic shows examples of system solutions for the cable and pipe extrusion.
