Precision meets humidity control: Labotek and Movacolor present the MDS Balance Drydose

Labotek and Movacolor have combined their expertise and jointly developed a pioneering solution for drying and dosing additives: the MDS Balance Drydose.

The newly developed system combines, for the first time, highly efficient material drying with precise additive dosing – all in a single, compact unit. The MDS Balance Drydose thus sets new standards in plastics processing and offers a unique solution for the industry's increasing demands. The growing demand for bio-based materials, highly specialized engineering plastics, and stricter quality requirements necessitate new approaches to material preparation. This is precisely where the Drydose comes in: It ensures targeted, needs-based additive drying and makes a crucial contribution to further minimizing quality risks. A particular advantage of the system lies in the direct drying of the material within the dosing station directly at the machine inlet – without the need for additional drying units. This integration not only ensures consistently optimal moisture control but also increases product quality, reduces rejects, and lowers energy consumption. The result: significantly increased overall production efficiency. "Since we installed the MDS Balance Drydose, streaks from additive application are a thing of the past!"
