Introduction

Comet’s ColorSave 1000 is a state-of-the-art, precise, single component gravimetric feeder for color concentrate and additives. The ColorSave ensures uniform, precise metering regardless of material density changes. Its compact, low hopper profile design makes it ideally suited for installation on injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding machines. Use the ColorSave 1000 instead of a volumetric feeder to ensure overall savings by reducing color concentrate tolerance values.

The ColorSave 1000 offers significant savings when compared to volumetric feeders and batch blenders:

• Saves up to 50% on color concentrate/additives when compared to volumetric feeders by reducing tolerance values.
• Saves up to 35% when compared to remote batch blenders.
• Saves up to 15% when compared to on-the-machine throat batch blenders.
