The best dosing technology in extrusion and co-extrusion of cables

For dosing raw material like powder or granules in the extrusion production process of cables, the dosing technology makes the difference in terms of quality, consistency and savings. Constant dosing of powder or granules is also important for the wall thickness of the insulation layer and plays an important role in preventing problems. Movacolor offers a complete range of volumetric and gravimetric dosing systems which provide optimal control.

Monitoring the extrusion production process of cables is getting more and more attention of plastics producers. The gravimetric loss-in-weight feeders offer the best monitoring possibilities. Connected to the LAN network, you can monitor all gravimetric dosing units in the factory by using just one computer. It is a perfect instrument to see what has happened during the night shift.

“Movacolor installed on our cable extrusion line their multi-component system with MCWeight and two MCBalances. Since that moment we have full information on the consumption of main material, color and catalyst, and are saving tremendous volumes of color, catalyst and scrap rate.”
