Since the early 1970’s when Colortronic pioneered central conveying systems in the plastics industry, Colortronic has gained extensive experience and continued to develop both the hardware (hopper loaders etc) and software (control panel).
Today, with large increases in energy costs and companies running very streamlined, it is even more critical to design and install the most reliable, energy efficient and maintenance free system as possible.
The introduction of the Colortronic ‘filterless’ hopper loader in the 1980’s was a major step, eliminating costly filter changes and maintenance. However, the unique cyclone which separates the conveying material and air also gives far greater, prolonged performance compared to units with filters as these reduce in performance when filters become clogged or blocked.
Early introduction of PLC controls to the market by Colortronic allowed the development of the ‘FIFO’ (first in, first out) scanning and queuing system, further enhancing the reliability of the machines and, as the hopper loaders were served more effectively, system performance was enhanced, resulting in energy savings or a reduction in size of the required vacuum pump.
Today, with over 35 years of know how, together with advances in PLC and VSD (variable speed drives) Colortronic is able to offer a central system using the lowest possible kilowatts per hour, giving maximum performance and reliability with minimum maintenance.
“In addition to the vast savings of 2/3 of the typically used energy, other benefits we have seen with our new systems include less dust, reduction of noise and heat and increases in expected lifetime of system components” states Karl Miller of Colortronic (UK) Limited.
