Set & Forget recipe control
Enter the recipe ratio on the screen and press start. The machine doses and blends at that ratio continuously with nobody watching it. The operator’s job shifts from blending to purging and changeover.

MegaColor 4th Gen Dual-Material
Color Powder Dosing Machine
The dual-material configuration on the 4th Generation frame. Each metering chamber doses its material separately before they combine. Suits lines where budget leads and changeovers are not frequent.
- 50–70 kg/hThroughput
- Two materials standard (expandable to 4 with add-on modules)Dosing configuration
- 4.6 LPowder tank volume
Is this the right model for you?
Rather than reading the full spec sheet and guessing, start here. If these match your line, this is the model.
Look at another model
- Single powder, 1-minute changeover → 5th Gen Standard
- Dual powder, 1-minute changeover → 5th Gen Dual-Powder
- 1-minute changeover → 5th Gen Dual-Material
- Single powder + regrind → 4th Gen Standard
- Dual powder + regrind → 4th Gen Dual-Powder
Choose this model
- You need to dose several resin streams (resin + calcium carbonate, etc.)
- You run PP / PE / PS / TPE or similar low-temp resins
- Throughput per machine is under 70 kg/h
- Changeovers are infrequent and budget leads the decision
If you need dual-material and fast changeover, look at the 5th Gen Dual-Material.
Not sure about your melt temperature or usage rate? You do not have to work it out yourself. Send us the resin grades and color powder you actually run, we test on your materials and give you the data, and we discuss model selection from there. There is no charge for this step.

A recipe is only valid for the resin grade it was set on. The metering chamber is volumetric: the volume is fixed, so the weight per chamber moves with the bulk density of the resin (roughly 1.3 kg per chamber on PP, 1.7 kg on PS). Keep the same tooth setting and switch from PP to PS and the powder dose has not changed while the resin charge has grown heavier — the color comes out visibly lighter. Re-set the tooth position when you change resin grade. This is inherent to volumetric dosing, and it is covered in commissioning training.
What this machine does
DualMode™ — one machine, both media
Runs color powder or masterbatch. Change the parts, not the machine. If you want to move from masterbatch back to powder to cut cost, you do not need to buy a second unit.
The MegaColor Three Zeros
Fully sealed mixing chamber — zero airborne dust. Gear metering needs no diffusion oil — zero mineral oil. Blended on demand with nothing left over — zero waste.
- Two metering chambers standard, expandable to four materials
- Solves bulk-density separation and settling in the hopper
- 10-minute changeover (4th Generation level)
How it compares with the rest of the range
Split by generation, throughput and dosing configuration. If you pick the wrong one, we will tell you at the sample-testing stage.

Dual-powder and dual-material are different machines: on the dual-powder model both tanks hold powder (color powder with metallic pigment, color powder with mould release). The dual-material model handles multiple resin streams (resin with calcium carbonate, for example), for cases where the bulk densities differ too much to blend evenly in a tumble mixer and the heavy fraction settles out as soon as the hopper vibrates.
