Weighing color masterbatch meter

A weighing type color masterbatch meter is a device specifically designed for the plastic processing industry to accurately measure and control the amount of color masterbatch (i.e. concentrated plastic particles containing pigments or other additives) added. This device ensures that the colorants are accurately added to the base resin in the predetermined ratio during the production process, thereby ensuring the color consistency and physical properties of the final product.

working principle

The weighing type color masterbatch meter mainly monitors the weight changes of the color masterbatch through a weighing sensor, in order to accurately control the amount of color masterbatch added. When the system detects that the weight of the colorant has decreased to the preset value, it will activate the colorant supply mechanism until the next preset value is reached. This process can be automatically completed through an electronic control system, ensuring that the amount of color masterbatch added each time is very precise.

Main components

1. Storage hopper: Used to store colorants to be used, different types of hoppers may be equipped according to different application requirements.                                                                                                                    2. Weighing sensor: installed below the storage hopper, used to monitor the weight changes of the color masterbatch in real time.                                                                                                                                              3. Screw conveying device: The color masterbatch is uniformly conveyed from the storage hopper to the mixing equipment or injection molding machine by rotating the screw.                                                                     4. Control system: including the control box and its internal electronic components, responsible for receiving data from the weighing sensor and controlling the speed and direction of the screw accordingly to achieve accurate color masterbatch addition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Application scenarios                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Weighing color masterbatch meters are widely used in the production of plastic products, especially in situations where strict control of color and material composition is required, such as the manufacturing of automotive parts, household appliance casings, packaging materials, and other products.characteristic                                                                                                                                                                                            -High precision: Advanced weighing technology is adopted to ensure the high accuracy of the amount of color masterbatch added.                                                                                                                                              -Flexibility: The proportion of colorants can be flexibly adjusted according to production needs.                                                                                                                                                                                                        -Reliability: Stable structural design and high-quality manufacturing processes ensure long-term stable operation.                                                                                                                                                                            -Easy to maintain: Modular design makes maintenance and upkeep more convenient and efficient.
