The activeColourChange system from Sumitomo (SHI) Demag meters the liquid colour in a closed system directly into the melt-filled metering zone of the plastification unit. In contrast to colouring with masterbatches, the upstream zones (feed zone and compression zone) remain free of colour. This means that only a much shorter section of the screw has to be purged when the colour is changed. A colour change with activeColourChange is extremely quick compared to masterbatch technology. As the supplier of liquid colours and ViscoTainers, ROWASOL participated in a demonstration of the activeColourChange process at the K2013. ViscoTec Pumpen- und Dosiertechnik GmbH was a further project partner.
