Precision and Performance at the Heart of Production
In many industrial sectors, the precise dosing of raw materials is an essential step in ensuring the quality and consistency of finished products. Whether in food processing, chemical manufacturing, or materials processing, rigorous control of proportions not only ensures compliance with formulations but also optimizes costs and reduces waste.
In the plastics industry, where assemblies often involve multiple components with distinct properties, this expertise takes on strategic importance, directly influencing the strength, appearance, and durability of the parts produced.
The plastic gravimetric feeder has become an essential tool in this context. Operating on the principle of precise weighing, it allows for the incorporation of various materials—such as pellets, powders, or specific additives—in strictly defined proportions.
This type of equipment is suitable for a wide variety of applications: the preparation of masterbatches, the incorporation of mineral fillers, the addition of stabilizers, and the uniform coloring of polymers. Its precision—often in the range of a few grams per batch—ensures consistent uniformity, thereby minimizing variations in color, texture, or mechanical properties.
Beyond precision, there are numerous benefits. A gravimetric system optimizes the use of raw materials, reduces waste, and ensures repeatable dosing, even under intensive production conditions. Its flexibility allows it to process multiple products simultaneously, manage batch-based filling sequences, and integrate into specific environments, such as ATEX zones.
With more than five decades of experience, TIM has built a solid reputation in the design of gravimetric feeders for the plastics industry. We offer reliable, modular equipment tailored to each customer’s specific requirements, incorporating high-precision weighing technologies and high-performance mixing systems.
Our Range of Solutions for Industry
We offer a complete line of single- or multi-product weighing units capable of simultaneously dosing up to nine ingredients. These plastic gravimetric dosing units incorporate advanced vertical spiral mixing technology that ensures perfect homogeneity of formulations. Automated control of the dosing units optimizes accuracy, with a margin of error reduced to ±5 grams depending on batch size, even under ATEX conditions for batches up to one metric ton.
In addition to dosing, we also specialize in processes such as pneumatic conveying, coloring, grinding, and the transport and recycling of plastics. Thanks to our turnkey TRANSITUBE systems, we are able to design integrated solutions that combine adaptability and performance—ideal for addressing today’s industrial challenges.
