Control Regrind Usage
- Installed beneath existing material hoppers.
- Easily and accurately use previously colored regrind while avoiding double-coloring.
- Regrind enters the flow of resin at the same height as the color feed.
MRF Volumetric Feeder
Compact receiver for accurate control of regrind usage.
- Software and hardware controls regrind effectively
- Avoids double coloring
- Simple cleanout and material changes
Regrind Control
See-Through Baffle Chamber
- Baffles ensure even distribution and mix of materials.
- Removable acrylic windows provide clear view of resin and color flow.
- Allows easy access to baffle chamber.
Simple Operation
Select % Regrind Directly to Avoid “Double Coloring”
- A “% regrind” rotary switch is provided on the feeder controller for selecting the exact percentage of regrind to be added.
- Signal output from the regrind feeder is accepted by all Maguire standard feeders (Series MCF, MPF, MPA, MDA) which automatically compensate for the percent of regrind set for the mix.
- When regrind runs low, the regrind feeder will automatically shut off and full 100% coloring will be resumed.
Quick Clean Out and Material Changes
- Complete and quick emptying of the hopper using a hinged clean out chute located directly under the feed screw and hopper.
- No tools required.
- No pellets cross contamination.
