Our broad range of sizes allows the selection of a system for maximum efficiency. Milacron Vacuum Pumps can be used as a single station unit, or provided with multiple station controls to service any number of machines.

Milacron floor filters utilize large capacity pleated fiber filters to protect the vacuum pump from contamination. The filter is easy to access by a quick-release clamps located on the lid of the filter canister. Fines can be removed by placing a container under the filter and removing the expansion plug. For very dusty materials, or for applications using regrind, a cyclone pre-filter can be used.
Color Feeders
Milacron's Additive Color Feeders provide adjustable metering rate of color concentrate or other pelletized additive. The feeder's flanged riser section mounts directly below the processing machine's supply hopper. The distribution section resists jamming, and directs the flow of primary material from the hopper around the unrestricted additive flow, combining materials just above the processing machine's feed screw.

The Milacron Color Feeders are designed for the most demanding applications. The riser is fabricated of heavy duty mild steel and is suitable for mounting drying hoppers. The cast auger housing is designed for durability and strength. Gear motors used for driving the augers are permanent magnet DC motors which utilize 0 to 130 volt speed controls and heavy duty gear reducers. Rates from .45 to 800 pounds per hour can be achieved with quick change augers, liners and motors.
Dryers
Milacron offers a complete line of portable dehumidifying dryers for applications requiring 30 cfm to 150 cfm. The units are light weight, and have a polished stainless steel housing. These dryers are available with a MC Blower Feed Package. It allows you to mount the dryer and hopper to a portable stand with a blower motor providing dry air conveying of material to the machine feedthroat.

For applications requiring over 150 cfm, Milacron offers a twin tower dryer design that supplies continuous dry air up to -40 F dewpoint. They feature fully automatic desiccant regeneration, full-flow return air filtration, and full desiccant utilization with solid bed design.
