Movacolor is heading to K 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for plastics and rubber, from October 8 to 15, 2025 at the Messe Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre in Düsseldorf, Germany As the No. 1 platform for plastics and rubber, K 2025 brings together manufacturers, machine builders, brand owners, OEMs, and suppliers for eight days of cutting-edge innovations, live demonstrations, and industry networking.
Join us in Hall 11 - H46 to explore how our modular dosing technology transforms plastics manufacturing - helping companies improve efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance product quality. Whether you’re looking for solutions in gravimetric dosing, regrind processing, or automation, our team is ready to help you take dosing in your production to the next level.
Why Choose the MDS Balance?
The MDS Balance sets a new standard in precision dosing, offering a smarter alternative to traditional volumetric feeders. Unlike conventional systems, it operates on a loss-in-weight principle, meaning it constantly measures and adjusts material flow in real time. This ensures stable dosing, even when external factors like material density fluctuations or environmental changes come into play.
More than just a dosing solution, the MDS Balance is also the better alternative to blending when accuracy and consistency matter most. It eliminates the risks of unmixing and low shot-to-shot accuracy, which are common issues in blending processes. By delivering precise, reliable dosing directly at the feed throat, the MDS Balance enhances product quality, reduces material waste, and ensures unmatched control over your production.
Movacolor’s Latest Innovations
MDS Balance Drydose
Labotek and Movacolor have joined forces and developed an innovative solution to address the need for drying additives. The result is the MDS Balance Drydose. This new system is a one-of-a-kind system that combines efficient material drying and precise additive dosing in a single, compact unit.
The Drydose accommodates the upward trend of drying additives due to increasing quality requirements, materials of biological origin, specialty engineered plastics, and the need to further reduce quality risks.
By drying materials directly within the dosing unit at the machine inlet, the Drydose ensures optimal moisture control and removes the need for additional drying equipment. This integrated approach enhances product consistency, reduces waste and energy consumption, and improves overall production efficiency.
“After installing the MDS Balance Drydose, our previous streaking problems when adding additives are simply gone!” Bernd Wilming, Plant Manager, agathon GmbH.
VoluTouch VTCM and percentage setting
Movacolor is now expanding its VoluTouch controller range with a metal (VTCM) version targeted for environments in which mechanical robustness is key. The MDS Volumetric Feeder is controlled from the same user friendly and intuitive touchscreen. The touchscreen control is expanded with a percentage setting wizard and percentage control for increased operator efficiency.
MovaLink integrated control
Movacolor proudly presents MovaLink, Movacolor’s solution to integrate full control of Movacolor equipment into the production cell control system. MovaLink is display-less and features all industry standard control interfaces such as ProfiNet and OPC-UA. The robust stainless-steel casing can be placed inside a cabinet, keeping the setup clean. Primarily designed for machine builders and system integrators, MovaLink reduces complexity and brings operational efficiency.
Continuous Line Measurement of your Extrusion Line
Line Control for Extrusion
Line Control is a comprehensive solution for extrusion lines that seamlessly synchronizes your extruder, puller/haul-off and downstream equipment to hit target specifications every time. By continuously monitoring and adjusting extruder RPM, line speed and material yield, it slashes start-up delays and prevents off-spec production before wall-thickness scanners even come into play.
Whether you run a single extruder or up to eight in co-extrusion, modular software licenses and robust speedometer hardware ensure you have just the right level of control. Fully integrable via Profinet, Profibus or OPC-UA, Line Control not only eliminates scrap and material waste but also delivers precise wall-thickness and consistent meter weight.
