For many plastics processors, equipment purchasing decisions often begin with one question: What does it cost? While initial investment is important, it only tells part of the story. The true cost of an additive feeder is measured over time through material consumption, production efficiency, and process consistency. When processing expensive color concentrates, UV stabilizers, flame…

How Can Gravimetric Blending Reduce Material Waste?
Quick Answer Gravimetric blending helps reduce material waste by accurately measuring ingredients by weight and maintaining consistent blend ratios from batch to batch. Because gravimetric feeders typically maintain accuracy within ±1% of the target feed rate, processors can achieve greater control over material usage, recipe consistency, and blend quality. AEC’s BD Series Gravimetric Blenders combine…
