Six-Hopper Material Batching Machine

A compact, high-precision six-hopper material batching machine engineered for smart dosing, consistent recipes, and energy-efficient continuous production. Ideal for multi-material compounding in plastics, rubber, and powder-processing lines, it delivers tight ratio accuracy, traceable batch records, and rapid changeovers for modern factories.

Product Features

Precision Dosing and Stable Ratio Control

• Closed-loop weight control with high-resolution load cells and servo-driven feeders ensures ±0.3–0.5% recipe accuracy across all six hoppers.
• Adaptive algorithm compensates for bulk density and flow variation, maintaining consistent throughput for continuous extrusion and injection molding lines.

Smart PLC/HMI, Recipe Management, and Traceability

• Industrial PLC with intuitive HMI supports multi-recipe storage, user permissions, and audit trail for GMP-style documentation.
• Barcode/RFID recipe call-up, batch ID logging, and exportable CSV data for MES/ERP integration enhance traceability and compliance.

Versatile Materials and Hygienic Construction

• Handles pellets, granules, powders, and regrind (LLDPE, PP, ABS, PA, PVC, PET, masterbatch, fillers) with anti-bridging cone design and vibration-assisted flow.
• Food-grade optional contact parts, 304 stainless steel hoppers, and easy-clean access to minimize cross-contamination and downtime.

Efficiency, Energy Saving, and Low Scrap

• Optimized feeder geometry and real-time correction minimize overfeeding and underfeeding, reducing scrap and stabilizing product properties.
• Energy-efficient motors and standby modes cut power consumption without compromising dosing stability.

Modular, Space-Saving, and Easy Maintenance

• Six independent hoppers with quick-release gates and tool-free maintenance points.
• Optional dust extraction, level sensors, and vacuum loader interfaces for cleaner, safer operation.

Application Fields

Building and Construction

• PVC profiles, pipes, seals, waterproof membranes: precise dosing of stabilizers, lubricants, fillers, and pigments for dimensional stability and UV resistance.

Furniture and Home Appliances

• ABS/PP housings, decorative trims, flame-retardant blends: consistent masterbatch and additive ratios for color uniformity and mechanical performance.

Automotive and Transportation

• Nylon/PP composites, impact modifiers, UV packages: repeatable recipes for under-the-hood components, interior trims, and lightweight structural parts.

Packaging and Consumer Goods

• PET/PP/PE packaging, straws, caps: high-volume production with stable color and additive dispersion, enabling low-defect, glossy surface finish.

Rubber, Cables, and Electronics

• Cable compounds, elastomers, flame-retardant formulations: accurate dosing of fillers and FR packages for electrical insulation and fire safety standards.
