AF1000 Series

AF1000 Series Gravimetric Additive Feeders

The AF1000 is a highly accurate, single-component gravimetric feeder designed for injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding applications. Its innovative double-hopper design features an outer protective shell with an inner floating weigh hopper mounted on a single-point load cell, delivering exceptional resistance to vibration and mechanical shock for maximum weighing precision. Equipped with Smart-Clean automatic quick purging, the AF1000 can clear colorant in just 10 seconds, eliminating manual clean-outs between jobs for faster changeovers. Advanced control algorithms ensure consistent dosing performance, even with material density changes or other dynamic conditions. The result is precise additive control, improved production efficiency, and significant material cost savings—allowing plastics manufacturers to confidently feed expensive colors and additives at the lowest possible let-down ratio.
