The MGF proven loss-in-weight technology automatically calibrates itself, totally eliminating manual catch-and-weigh calibration procedures and even more common and erroneous guessing of metering rates.
Easy To Use Microprocessor Controller
Dual Load Cells
• No tools required for assembly or removal of load cell assembly, hopper and metering device.
• The throat adapter fits readily on most processing machine throats and easily supports nearly any main material supply hopper.
Hopper is mounted on two load cells to prevent distorted readings from cantilevered loads in the hopper.
Load cell assembly slips easily into place. The metering device is locked in place by two clips and can be quickly removed.
Aluminum hopper with brushed exterior holds up to 25 lb (1 1 kg) of material. Easy removal and replacement of supply hopper allows fast material change. Spare supply hoppers and hopper extensions are available.
• Large, user-friendly keypads for easy input
• Backlit LCD display• Can be mounted remotely with
optional extension cables• Password protection
Conveniently located On/Off power switch and Run/Stop switch
Password Protection Easy Initial Calibration Adjustable low-weight alarm for supply hopper
Loader Weight Settings
Choose the mode of operation for your process: CYCLE for injection OR
CONTINUOUS, EXTRUSION FOLLOWING or RATE for extrusion applications
Enter let-down ratio “LDR” and either shot size
“SHOT / WT” or extruder output “LBS / HOUR”
Press “RUN”
As material is metered into the feed throat, the dual load cells under the loss-in-weight hopper
detect material usage
Loss-in-weight data is gathered by the controller and monitored continuously
No Tools Required
Fast Clean-out and Replacement
Alarm light indicates low-load (2-3 lb) in hopper
