Product overviewLybra LG is a continuous loss-in-weight gravimetric feeder designed for precise dosing of additives into a virgin polymer stream. The cooled variant is marketed as LGR and is suitable for low-melting additives. Capacity range: 0.21–190 kg/h.
Key features- Capacity: 0.21–190 kg/h
- High accuracy and repeatability via proprietary loss-in-weight control
- Dosing screw options: single, dual or triple flight configurations
- Control: microprocessor with 7" touch screen and Ethernet connectivity
- Water-cooled station available (LGR) for low melting additives
Functional descriptionThe dosing screw (single/dual/triple) provides accurate and repeatable additive feed. An intuitive graphical user interface displays set and actual values, instantaneous production and allows access to all unit functions. A central static mixer inserts additives into the middle of the virgin column for homogeneous blending. The angled dosing station prevents overfeeding, while a dual load-cell arrangement supports only the residence hopper. A separate support bracket isolates the hopper loader from the feeding assembly to increase throughput and reduce wear.
Installation & options- Local 7" touch screen can be mounted remotely or on the control housing
- Station can be combined with a central hopper to handle regrind or flakes and increase throughput
- Water-cooled LGR version for safe dosing of low melting additives
