Q U I Section 1: Introduction C This User’s Manual is intended for use with the Digital Dosing Disc Additive Feeder. The K feeder precisely meters and controls the addition of master batches, chemical additives, and regrinds to primary plastics. The Digital Dosing unit can meter both powder and granular S material of various sizes. It can be used on extrusion, blow molding and injection molding T machines. Depending on the application and throughput, two models are available: Sin

1.1 Controller The Digital Dosing additive feeder consists of a controller(s), dosing motor(s), and feeder(s). The controller is used to: • Configure the unit to the desired process. • Calibrate the feeder • Run, monitor, and stop the dosing process • Enter, recall, and run recipes • Troubleshoot problems via error codes A keypad and LED display (see Figure 3) are used to enter, or change, data. • The control system is switched on (position “1") with the On/Off switch. (A) • T

1.2 Keys and Symbols Recipe Storage/Recall: For saving, recalling or modifying recipes. Stop: Stops the continuous operation of the feeder. Will reset the totalizer showing metered amount of additive to zero if depressed for two seconds. Up-arrow: For increasing the set value in decimal increments. Down-arrow: For decreasing the set value in decimal increments. Arrow Key: For fast increasing/decreasing of the set value in larger increments. Must be pressed simultane

7. After all five samples have been completed; press “run” once more and this will save the calibration weight of the material to the recipe. The calibration light will go out and the screen will now show the total amount of additive dosed. The Digital Dosing feeder is now ready to begin operation. 8. Please refer to “Operation Manual” for all supplementary information regarding general operation, cleaning/maintenance, and troubleshooting. 9. Make sure that there is a virgin material s

Figure 4. Digital Dosing Unit Assembly 1. The Digital Dosing additive feeder is not affected by machine vibration, therefore best performance is achieved by mounting the unit directly to the feed throat of the molding machine or extruder (see Figure 4). The inlet into the process machine must be greater than 2” diameter; otherwise, an adapter might be n
