During the injection molding process, multiple pieces of the puzzle can require precision timing, careful operation, and state-of-the-art equipment to make the process go smoothly. For companies looking to take their plastic injection molding process to the next level, focusing on the individual components of the process can make a significant difference. Plastrac has been on the cutting edge of transforming plastic injection molding and pushing the technologies and processes forward, making it a simpler and safer proposition. That’s where our Gravimetric ColorStream™ series can help. 

What Makes the ColorStream™ Series Unique?

For many companies looking to change how they go about the blending process, upgrading their systems to smooth out the process and create a safer and more efficient process. We have developed a blender that combines the best aspects of simplicity and safety to create a sturdy mixer that doesn’t require as much intensive work to operate. The ColorStream™ system has specific features that help set it apart from other models and manufacturers in the industry. 

Some of these benefits of using our products include the following:

Easier to Change Colors

With such large blenders, it used to be exceedingly difficult to change out or refill the colors while maintaining dosing accuracy and product quality. You would need to scale ladders, stairs, and mezzanines to change the necessary bays, leading to complicated and unnecessarily long processes for your large batch blenders. With our ColorStream™ blenders, the canisters swap easily with our ergonomic cart-based system, taking the extra steps out of the process and putting more time back into your dosing and blending production. 

Lowering the Power Costs

When running large blenders that require long runtimes and you need them running concurrently to hit your process quotas, your plant’s energy bills can begin to skyrocket with little end in sight. With our ColorStream™ gravimetric blenders, your plant’s infrastructure can be significantly streamlined, eliminating the need for machines responsible for a single color working together. The fewer machines you have running means you’ll see a significant reduction in your energy consumption and costs in no time. 

Low Maintenance Taking the Stress Out of Your Day

One of the last things you want to deal with on your production line is machines requiring endless maintenance. Whether older machines require more attention to keep them running smoothly or if you are dealing with frequent clogs slowing down production, these slowdowns can significantly impact your bottom line. With our new ColorStream™ blenders, you get a machine that provides seamless functionality without worrying about extended maintenance and downtimes. 

Our ColorStream™ models offer a continuous blending process through a clean, low-pressure air transport that helps keep things moving at an even pace. The transport air scrubs all of the surfaces within the machine, ensuring that you don’t have to worry about extensive cleaning routines between production. With absolutely nothing to clog and bring your production to a halt, you won’t have to schedule regular cleaning and maintenance times to keep your machine operational.
