Redesigned and modified
The well-known range of Plasticolor dosing units has recently been completely
redesigned and modified.
The new Plasticolor 1500 and 2500 series now has integrated neckpiece slides for the
quantity tests, a round shaped material inlet and a round shaped quick discharge.
The material flow and dosing precision have been clearly influenced by these
modifications.
The sealing at the screw shaft has also been improved in order to be able to also handle
dusty material and certain powders.
By utilising a new motor generation the output ranges have also been increased. For
instance, the Plasticolor 1500 is up to 35kg/hr and the Plasticolor 2500 is 160kg/hr.

Specialist in development
and manufacture
Mixer specialises in the development and manufacture of elastomeric or
polyolefin-based compounds exclusively for the wire and cable industry.
Insulation and sheathing compounds for low, medium and high voltage applications
include automotive, industrial power, energy distribution, mining and appliances.
Mixer has developed an MV EPDM compound that no longer contains lead. The
material exhibits both electrical and physical properties that are comparable to that
of leaded compounds. Cable manufacturers are now able to produce cables with
environmentally friendly compounds that are code compliant and reliable, at the same
final cost of traditional leaded cables.
HFFR bedding compounds with LOI of up to 90% are available for high flame retardant
applications. Mixer’s colour masterbatches are compatible with all polymers (PVC, PE,
EPDM).
The company’s on-site laboratory provides testing of material properties and
behaviours. Technical assistance is available to optimise the operational parameters of
extrusion lines.
