Accurate Metering. Precise Control.
(Created: 03-Jun-09)

The latest addition to Sterling's blending and feeding line, the SF-1000 Series Gravimetric Additive Feeder, features a compact feeder that provides accurate metering of additives as well as material usage tracking, which can be utilized in all molding and extrusion applications for pelletized materials.

The SF-1000 adds colorant or other free-flowing material to your process, based on a self-calibrating gravimetric controller. This eliminates the over-feeding that typically accompanies volumetric feeders and make recalibration unnecessary.

Consistent, accurate operation and repeatability, even at low output rates, provide significant savings in additive consumption-offering a quick payback time. There is automatic, self adjustment if there is a deviation from the set additive weight, and automatic calibration makes the SF-1000 series simple and easy to use, and flow rate is calculated in both percentage or kilograms per hour for extruders.

Standard features include: a user-friendly graphic display, integrated TCP/IP cared that enables communication for injection molding models, a 0-10 VDC extruder follower circuit available on extrusion models and an advanced feed-rate algorithm. An integrated automatic venturi loader, along with other side-loading configurations, are optional.

Sterling provides a full line of material processing equipment and always offers full support from start-up to installation to 24-hour on-call service. For more information on the Sterling CF-1000 Series or any other Sterling product call 262-641-8610
