Innovative dual dosing methods The sBLEND G employs two distinct dosing methods: vertical slide valves for main components and screw feeders for precise additive dosing. This dual approach ensures unparalleled accuracy and flexibility. The bowl-shaped mixing chamber, equipped with an optimized agitator, guarantees homogeneous mixing in a dead-spot-free zone, monitored by the advanced sBLEND microprocessor control system. This allows for reducing additive quantities to the lower tolerance limit, ensuring cost savings without compromising quality. Versatile and modular design The sBLEND G unit supports gain-in-weight dosing and mixing for up to four materials, available in three sizes for throughput rates of 50, 130, and 300 kg per hour. The standard configuration includes two vertical slides, controlled by pneumatic cylinders, for precise dosing of main components like virgin material or regrind. For finer dosing and greater accuracy, optional screw dosing modules can be added. These modules prevent material trickle and avoid overdosing expensive additives. They are available in various sizes and can be removed and exchanged without the need for tools, offering flexible configuration to meet specific application requirements. Efficient cleaning and maintenance Designed for convenience, the sBLEND G features a quick-change system for dosing modules and quick-release screws, simplifying cleaning and material changes. The weigh bin and mixing chamber can be easily removed without tools. All contact parts are made of stainless steel, ensuring contamination-free operation and easy cleaning. The brushless, swivel-mounted dosing motors with integrated motor management are maintenance-free and easily removable, guaranteeing reliable continuous operation. Reliable and consistent performance The bowl-shaped mixing chamber design ensures a homogenous mix and consistent material discharge. When mounted on the processing machine inlet, the material path from the mixing chamber to the processing screw is minimized, preventing unwanted material segregation. Alternatively, the unit can be mounted on a frame and placed on the floor or serve as a central station for multiple processing machines. Advanced control and network integration The sBLEND G, like all swift units, features a modern microprocessor control with an innovative, open network architecture based on Ethernet. This allows for both direct operation via a 7-inch colour touchscreen and remote control. The sBLEND controller monitors and displays throughput and supports weight calibration, automatically calculating material addition speeds. Exceptional value and performance The sBLEND G stands out as a unit that combines motan s renowned quality with an excellent price-performance ratio and state-of-the-art control technology.

METRO G is the most comprehensive and flexible material loader range on the market. It combines the best of two established material loader ranges colortronic and motan. Whether simple or highly complex, METRO G s modular building block system will provide you with an individual solution tailored to your needs. Modular design No product redundancy - as your production requirements change so does the material loader. All material loaders are fully modular and can be matched to different throughputs and requirements depending on the application. Not only are there different material loader volumes but also different material inlet and outlet sizes which can be accurately adapted to suit throughputs and conveying distances. De-dusting module Guarantees consistent material quality for critical applications. The de-dusting module removes dust from high performance engineering plastics directly at the hopper loader, sending them to the central dust filter via the air flow. These expensive materials, now dust-free, can be processed without further delay. Vacuum module with Blow Back Safe option for very dusty materials. The implosion vacuum module with blow-back function enables safe cleaning of the screen filter for very dusty materials. The standard implosion cleaning is reinforced by additional blasts of compressed air. Tangential material inlet with trumpet air outlet The ideal solution for fine or dusty materials. If the materials that you need to convey have a small granule size, are very dusty, or contain angel-hair, then the METRO G loaders can be supplied with a tangential material inlet. During conveying this produces a cyclone effect which is perfect for separating different types of materials. With the trumpet air outlet, the exhaust air speed is well below the levitation speed so that no granules or particles can be carried back to the central dust filter. Membrane implosion vacuum valve No compressed air required and guaranteed contamination free. The membrane implosion vacuum valve offers the same functions as the implosion vacuum valve but works without compressed air. Instead, the vacuum required for the switching process comes from the conveying system, which opens and closes the valve. This valve is therefore ideally suited for use in clean room applications.

The sDRY MM / MD dryer series offers a fully modular drying management system. The system consists of one sDRY MM main module and can be flexibly combined with up to twelve sDRY MD drying modules.

Thanks to a modern 7 touch screen colour display, all conveying and drying functions can be shown and monitored in a user-friendly way. 16 user languages can easily be selected. Dew point display and control Optimised regeneration time saves energy. The sCOMPACT version of the dryer, offers dew point display and dew point control as standard. Regeneration of the molecular sieve is triggered when the maximum dew point set value of the return air has been reached. This value can be defined and set by the user and offers large energy savings. Overdry protection Protects material and saves energy. The standard automatic overdry function prevents material from being over dried. This reduces the heating capacity of the drying bin if the process return air temperature remains high for a long period of time. This function can be either enabled or disable dependant on your process requirements. Integrated conveying 3-in-1 drying technology saves space. The integrated conveying function in the sCOMPACT saves you space and money as no separate conveying system is needed. It can control one drying bin hopper loader as well as the hopper loader on up to two processing machines including the blower and filter. Dry air conveying & line purging Maintaining material temperature and eliminating reabsorption of moisture. The sCOMPACT A version offers dry air conveying and line purging as standard. This is essential for hygroscopic materials which reabsorb moisture quickly. Conveying is carried out in a closed loop and dry, warm air is used for transporting the material to the processing machine. After every conveying cycle the material feedline is purge. So, maintaining material temperature and eliminating reabsorption of moisture.
