APM's November 2023 Highlights
Reduce your Colorant and Additive Usage
The above graph is a case study done in October 2023 with a customer running a Maguire Blender. On average the Blender used 3.5% more colorant than it was supposed to, with single batch variations as high as 25% higher! Over the course of the year, this amounted to thousands of dollars in wasted colorant, and this was for a relatively low throughput application. More info on the case study can be found here. If you are currently running Maguire Blenders, we can do a free Colorant Usage Study at your facility, and we can offer a Wittmann Blender Trial to prove a payback.

Save Energy Replacing Your Old Conveyors
