Our brand-new MDS Volumetric Feeder, part of our modular dosing solutions, addresses the need for a high performance dosing unit at a cost-efficient price. It sets the new standard for volumetric feeding.  

The MDS Volumetric Feeder includes a dedicated newly developed 4.3” VoluTouch controller. This capacitive touchscreen controller can manage up to two units and is equipped with intuitive functionalities such as easy recipe management. A wireless web interface allows for data and recipe transfer.   

The VoluTouch controller can seamlessly connect with an extruder’s tacho signal, initiate the injection molding machine in timer mode, and features a relay mode. This ensures smooth integration with any production line. Pre-calibration to dose at percentage rates including prime function are integrated in an intuitive wizard.  

The MDS Volumetric Feeder comes with an efficient and reliable stepper motor, a rigid dosing house, a stainless-steel hopper and a robust neckpiece. Optimal blend homogeneity is accomplished through inline dosing using a centralized insert within the neckpiece.  

Thanks to its intuitive design, this dosing solution allows a swift 60 second cleaning and material change through a discharge valve and easy motor, hopper and dosing tool release. As a result, downtime and changeover time can be minimized. A unique solution for this market segment.  

The unique range of dosing tools offer trouble-free dosing up to 180 kg/h accommodating a broad spectrum of materials including granules, free-flowing powders and regrinds up to 70 degrees Celsius. It proves its value in improving efficiency, reducing waste, and saving costs in injection molding, blow molding and extrusion processes.  

The MDS Volumetric Feeder is part of our modular dosing concept and can be combined with other units and/or specifically tailored to suit the requirements of your production process.     

Standard Equipment: 

  • Discharge valve 
  • Power supply 
  • Stepper motor  
  • NBST40 neckpiece 
  • GLX dosing cylinder
