Introduction
Movacolor dosing units are capable of handling a variety of dry materials. The loader that can be connected
to
–
and controlled by the MC18-Micro is the Movacolor Ejector (ME) system for dust-free or nearly dust-
free materials.
The ME hopper loader is driven by low-pressure compressed air and mounted directly on top of the hopper
lid of the Movacolor dosing unit. The MC18-Micro controls the operation of the ME system.
All parts are aluminum or stainless steel and are virtually maintenance-free. Only the filter needs to be
cleaned periodically. To increase reliability and safety, there are no moving parts in the hopper loader
construction.
How the ME works
The ME system blows the material from the bag, drum
or container into the hopper of the dosing unit. The
hopper lid of the housing has a simple and easy-to-clean
dust filter to keep any dust particles in the hopper.
The system is triggered by a low-level sensor mounted
in the hopper of the dosing unit. The sensor also
generates a low-level alarm.
