Our MDS Balance is widely renowned for its ability to dose with accuracy that goes beyond conventional dosing solutions. However, according to customer feedback, there are some challenges for operators that:

  • Cannot reach the dosing machine properly due to the height of the production machine.
  • Need to frequently access the dosing unit to perform color changes.
  • Use extreme high vibration production machines that can effect the dosing process.
  • Are not allowed to perform work above their head due to safety limitations.

These remarks have not gone unnoticed and triggered our team of engineers to design a solution that: takes away these limitations and allows any of these companies to minimize high risk work on top of the production machine and maximize efficiency.

Introducing our new MDS Balance Off-line dosing add-on for the MDS Balance. The add-on is positioned on a trolley which allows operators to move the dosing unit freely around the factory.  Because the dosing unit is placed next to the production machine (off-line), vibrations of the production machine no longer play a role in the dosing accuracy. Additionally material changes and maintenance can be performed at ground level, resulting in increased productivity. 

The MDS Balance Off-line dosing add-on is part of the Movacolor modular dosing concept and can be specifically tailored to suit the requirements of your plastic production process.
