Rethinking Resin Feeding with AccuTrack

On injection molding machines and extrusion lines with moderate capacities, feeding virgin resin into the machine has traditionally been a simple, gravity-fed process. While effective, it’s not without its limitations, especially for manufacturers who frequently switch raw materials or need precise monitoring of resin consumption. The AccuTrack offers an alternative—a gravimetric screw feeder designed not just for colors or additives but also for any pelletized resin materials, providing better control and flexibility without overhauling the entire feeding system.

AccuTrack feeds natural materials directly into the injection molding machine or extruder to ensure material is fed continuously, while also tracking material usage and simplifying changeovers.

Practical Benefits You Can See

Switching to AccuTrack for resin feeding offers practical advantages:

  • Real-Time Monitoring: It’s easy to track how much raw material you’re using, and to collect data via Modbus TCP communications
  • Quick Material Changes: The fast-emptying design uses compressed air to switch materials, saving valuable time and increasing operator safety. Now it is just one button push away on the touchscreen controller to activate the SmartClean feature, and be ready to run the next material in seconds.
  • Reliable Feeding: With dual-level sensors directly above the feed throat, material levels stay optimal, avoiding stoppages or inconsistencies.
  • Scalable Performance: The system works for production rates of up to 30 kg/hour and can handle up to 70 kg/hour with a larger setup.
  • Built-in Loading: The system includes a built-in venturi loader to load the material into the hopper from within 3 meters, eliminating the need for a separate vacuum loader or receiver.

Smarter Manufacturing with AccuTrack

By integrating AccuTrack into your production line, you get more than just a feeding solution. You gain better control over material consumption, reduce production downtime, and make the entire process more efficient. It’s an upgrade that reflects the direction manufacturing is heading—towards smarter, more automated systems that prioritize precision and reliability.

The AccuTrack technology is incorporated into the modified neckpiece that attaches to the extruder for a small footprint solution for accurate resin feeding.

If you’re looking to improve your resin feeding process, the AccuTrack might be the solution you need.
