MCHybrid Blender This patent-pending color-feeding system from Movacolor B.V., Sneek, Netherlands, is a crossover between a batch blender and an in-line dosing system. It can handle as many as four ingredients, blending together two main components before additives are dosed gravimetrically in-line. An 8-inch touch-screen interface with a simple operating menu and full recipe functionality is included with the MCHybrid. Movacolor lists three sales representatives in the United States on its website, including Romax Inc.
What's new? The blender, which recently became available for sale in the United States.
Benefits Easy cleanout, accurate, precise dosing and large throughput relative to the unit's size.
