Introduction

ColorSave 1000F gravimetric feeder for color concentrate and additives is designed to be installed on injection molding machines and extrusion to obtain the highest possible accuracy and mixture consistency. When compared to other volumetric feeders on the market today, the ColorSave 1000F will save up to 50% in color concentrate/additives, save up to 35% when compared to remote batch blenders, and up to 15% compared to on-the-machine throat batch blenders. The diagrams below show the comparative savings calculated on the basis of the actual performance of volumetric feeders.

The return on investment with the ColorSave 1000F (ROI) is 3-12 months (depending on the specific user conditions) because it reduces color concentrate/additive consumption.

Calculated return on investment (ROI) with the ColorSave 1000F using the cost of color concentrate/additive (kg) and savings levels (%) as functions.
