ColorSave® 1000X

Gravimetric Feeder with SmartClean Technology and the Next Generation of Precision Dosing

ColorSave® 1000X gravimetric feeder elevates operating efficiency with the ultimate in self-cleaning with patented SmartClean technology, unmatched dosing precision, and enhanced user experience.

Enhanced Smart Clean Technology

The ColorSave 1000X, featuring advanced SmartClean technology, now incorporates additional compressed air nozzles in the weigh hopper, efficiently expelling fines and dusty colorant. SmartClean technology purges colorant in 10 seconds, returning residuals to the storage container to save labor and production time while eliminating expensive color waste. Compatible with injection molding, extrusion, and blow-molding machines, ColorSave 1000X integrates with LIAD Smart Spectro™ for real-time color management.

New PLC Controller

The new ColorSave 1000X also includes an ergonomically designed PLC controller with a 7-inch touchscreen for improved usability and flexible mounting.

New  Easy Access Hopper

The hinged lid provides easy access to the weigh hopper, streamlining maintenance. The feeder stores up to 500 recipes, features an easy-to-replace feeding screw, and offers an optional integrated Venturi vacuum loader. Real-time data collection via control software provides production run material usage and rates.

Benefits of a Double Hopper

ColorSave 1000X features an outer protective shell with an inner floating weigh hopper and a single-point load cell for accuracy in industrial settings with vibration.

  • Highly sensitive load cells
  • Accurate and precise feeding
  • Significant cost savings

Accurate Dosing at the Lowest Possible LDR

ColorSave 1000X advanced algorithms ensure precise dosing despite material density changes, allowing manufacturers to feed expensive colors and additives at the lowest possible (LDR), reducing masterbatch costs.

Significant Savings Compared to Volumetric Feeders & Batch Blenders

ColorSave 1000X brings significant cost reductions when compared to standard volumetric feeders or batch blenders. Save up to 50% of your masterbatch (MB) costs by making the switch to the gravimetric ColorSave 1000X.

ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGIES MB SAVINGS WITH COLORSAVE 1000X
VOLUMETRIC FEEDER Up to 50%
REMOTE BATCH BLENDER Up to 35%
MACHINE THROAT BATCH BLENDER Up to 15%
