Tomorrow, Movacolor will host its first session during the MATSUI MFG (Japan) Webinar Week:
📅 Wednesday May 26 – 12:00 AM
🎙 The Additive Dosing Secrets Big Molders Keep

Most moulders set percentages. Far fewer actually verify what is happening in production. And that difference matters more than most people realize.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
• Why small dosing deviations quietly become high annual costs
• How operators unknowingly compensate for unstable processes
• And what happens when production finally becomes measurable in real-time

Thanks again to Matsui for organizing this excellent webinar week and inviting Movacolor to participate.

Next week, Movacolor will join the Webinar Week organised by MATSUI MFG (Japan) alongside industry experts discussing the future of plastics processing under the themes:
🔹 Next-Generation Mold Technology
🔹 Green Molding

We’re proud to contribute with three sessions focused on challenges many moulders experience every day, but rarely fully measure.

📅 Our sessions:
➡ Wednesday, May 26 – 12:00 AM The Additive Dosing Secrets Big Molders Keep
➡ Thursday, May 27 – 9:00 AM What We Learned About Regrind from an IKEA Production Line
➡ Thursday, May 27 – 10:30 AM Why Just Drying Failed at the World’s Largest Chocolate Mould Producer

No theoretical storylines, but real production challenges and what manufacturers discovered when they started measuring reality instead of assumptions.
A big thank you to Matsui for the invitation and for organizing this webinar week.

Virgin material prices are fluctuating.
Regrind and recycled materials are becoming more valuable (and costly) than ever.

Inaccurate dosing doesn’t just create waste anymore; it directly impacts your margins through:
→ overdosing of additives
→ unstable product quality
→ lost regrind value

Our customer solved this by implementing the MDS Balance for precise shot-by-shot dosing and full traceability of recycled material usage. The result:
✔ Less material waste
✔ Better OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
✔ Reliable compliance reporting
✔ More control over valuable regrind material

In today’s market, investing in dosing accuracy is no longer just process optimization. It’s direct cost savings.

Learning and strong partnerships go hand in hand.
Recently, Glenn der Kinderen and Cas Wittenberg from Penn Color, Inc. completed a training session on Movacolor equipment hosted by Bert van der Veen and Esther Zeilstra. During the training, they deepened their knowledge of our dosing technologies, system setup, and best practices for achieving consistent and accurate results in plastics processing.
Great to see partners investing in technical expertise to better support customers in the field. Thanks for your enthusiasm and engagement, Glenn and Cas!

Frequent manual corrections and inconsistent layer thickness were costing Tricoflex output and time.

After implementing our gravimetric dosing technology:
✔️ +30 minutes of uptime recovered per day
✔️ 120 operator hours saved annually
✔️ Consistent weight-per-meter across four layers

The result?
A stable, fully synchronized extrusion process with higher output, less waste, and guaranteed product quality.

“The greatest achievement is that our line output now consistently meets the exact weight-per-meter specifications.”
– Vincent Caron, Lean Manager at Tricoflex

"Now is not the right time."
We hear this more and more, and it makes sense with rising material costs, geopolitical uncertainty, and pressure on margins.
But what if that’s exactly why it is the right time?

Because the real question is: Where are you already losing money today?

At Plextrusions Inc., where they make high-quality marine boat flooring, manual compounding was limiting performance:
• Time-consuming changeovers
• Inconsistent quality
• High startup waste

Our system, installed by our partner CLE plastics Machinery, eliminated these performance-limiting factors.

✔️ Line speed increased from 4.9 → 7 ft/s (+40%)
✔️ Tasks reduced from hours to minutes
✔️ Less waste, more consistent quality
