motan-colortronic gmbh

motan-colortronic combines volumetric or gravimetric dosing on one unit platform for the first time with the SPECTROFLEX dosing system.

The SPECTROFLEX V from motan-colortronic is a modular, extremely flexible volumetric dosing system for powder, granules, pellets, regrind, flakes and fibres. The modular design enables optimized individual adaptation. With just a few hand movements, the dosing unit can easily be adapted to different material properties.
There is now a gravimetric dosing module available for the SPECTROFLEX V. It uses the same base and the same exchange modules as the SPECTROFLEX V and is also suitable for granules, regrind, powder and flakes. Depending on the feed material and the unit version, thoughputs of 0.7 to over 3000 liters per hour are possible with small dosing tolerances. Free-flowing and non-free-flowing materials can be dosed. Due to the same technical basis of the volumetric and graviteric systems, little training is required for production or to switch between materials and the two dosing technologies. Thanks to the available exchange modules there is no cleaning time required for material changes and the changing of the set-up is quick and easy.
The gravimetric dosing unit is controlled via GRAVInet SF. This is a network-compatible control for up to two dosing modules. The precise DMS load cells are equipped with seperate amps and CAN-bus interfaces – making them perfect for use in modern production environments.

Due to its modular design with numerous options, motan-colortronic’s 2013 METRO G series is the most flexible material loader available on the market. Now the company will introduce a new version which includes many improvements made together with users.
Users have provided detailed feedback about the everyday running of their machines and systems and have highlighted areas which required improvement. motan-colortronic has taken these suggestions on board and has implemented them, as well as some of their own additional ideas, into the material loaders of the popular METRO G series.
Particularly the manually operated parts were viewed critically by users. Therefore, the lid along with the hinge and latch have been reworked and redesigned to optimise handling. The shape of the lid seal was adjusted.
By reworking the implosion valve provides the METRO G material loader with even more flexibility: The pneumatic cylinder size DN32 enables operation with greater vacuum than before. Freely selectable vacuum connections between DN28 and DN60 make connection to customer’s system easier. The implosion valve can be installed easily without the need for an adaptor and is available with different seal versions: The standard silicon-free seals can quickly and simply be swapped for silicon seals, for example for medical applications or for operation at high temperatures.
Another convenient feature are the new solenoid valves, which can now be operated at the touch of a button.
motan-colortronic uses customers’ experiences and feedback to implement innovation in every detail and to provide greater customer benefits.
