Case studies

Dosing accuracy improved from ±0.5% to ±0.05% on 24/7 injection molding of clips and hooks, saving approximately €160,000 a year in colorant. No color drift, even in low-opacity products.

Most manual weighing and screw-speed checks eliminated, recovering 30 minutes of uptime a day and freeing 120 operator hours a year, with better weight-per-meter accuracy across four layers.

Extrusion output stabilized with amperage variation below ±1 A. Scrap reduced by 5 to 7%, masterbatch use lowered by up to 10%, and regrind use raised to 25%.

Manual compounding replaced by automated blending of four materials and additives. Tasks that took hours now take minutes, and line speed rose from 4.9 to 7 feet per second, a 40% capacity gain.

Drying and dosing combined at the machine inlet with the MDS Balance Dry-dose. Streaking and splay eliminated, and black-speck contamination significantly reduced.

Shot-by-shot logging of the weight and material used, for 100% traceability of additive per shot or batch, to support recycled-content reporting and customer audits.
