MGF Gravimetric Feeder Simple, Accurate, Affordable

The MGF proven loss-in-weight technology automatically calibrates itself, totally eliminating manual catch-and-weigh calibration procedures and even more common and erroneous guessing of metering rates.

• No tools required for assembly or removal of load cell assembly, hopper and metering device
• The throat adapter fits readily on most processing machine throats and easily supports nearly any main material supply hopper
• Fast Clean-out and Replacement - Aluminum hopper with brushed exterior holds up to 25 lb of concentrate. Easy removal and replacement of supply hopper allows fast color change. Spare supply hoppers are available.

Eliminate Waste of Colarants and Additives

This compact loss-in-weight additive feeder precisely measures the amount of additive that is fed directly into the machine throat to eliminate costly waste.

Main Features

• 4 Standard Modes of Operation - Cyclical, continuous, extrusion following and rate (vol/hr).
• Reduces Input Error - The easiest setup procedure in the industry: enter let-down ratio and either shot weight or lb/hr output and press start. Feeder automatically adjusts to screw recovery time and extruder output.
• Fine Metering Resolution - 100 rpm Stepper Motor advances at 200 increments perrevolution. In combination with digital control, the 200-step rotation achieves fine metering resolution of ± 0.2%.
• Automatic Re-calibration Ensures Continuous Accuracy - Automatic adjustments guarantee that feed rate is held to within ± 0.2% of desired let-down ratio.
• Dual Load Cells - Balanced load readings improve accuracy.
• Torque-limiting Drive Coupling - Protects drive motor in case of jammed auger.
• Easy-to-Use Microprocessor Controller Saves Time - User-friendly controller has intuitive setup procedure.
• USB Port - Allows data download, data printout and software update capability.
• Detailed Material Usage Documentation - Microprocessor control allows data collection via G2 networking software, or MLAN protocol via Ethernet.
• Eliminates Downtime Associated with Color Change - Feeder automatically re-calibrates to new color, so no additional setup required. Spare hoppers available for faster color changes.
