AF1000 features a compact, gravimetric additive feeder that allows it to accurately meter additives as well as track material usage. The AF1000 is designed to work in all molding and extrusion applications for pelletized material. Consistent, accurate operation and repeatability, even at very low output rates. If there is a deviation from set additive weight, the AF1000 will automatically self-adjust to ensure proper measurements.
