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 Large-Capacity Dual-Powder
Color Powder Dosing Machine
For high-output presses that also need two powders dosed at once (color powder plus metallic pigment, color powder plus mould release). Each tank meters independently, with no cross-interference.
- 150–180 kg/hThroughput
- Dual powderDosing configuration
- 10.5 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
- under 70 kg/h, Single powder → 5th Gen Standard
- under 70 kg/h, 1-minute changeover → 5th Gen Dual-Powder
- under 70 kg/h, Two materials standard (expandable to 4 with add-on modules) → 5th Gen Dual-Material
- under 70 kg/h, Single powder + regrind → 4th Gen Standard
- under 70 kg/h, Dual powder + regrind → 4th Gen Dual-Powder
Choose this model
- You need to dose two powders at once (color powder + metallic pigment, color powder + mould release, and so on)
- and throughput per machine is above 70 kg/h
- You run PP / PE / PS / TPE or similar low-temp resins
- Large presses, high-output shop
Dual-powder is not the same as dual-material. On the dual-powder model both tanks hold powder. If what you need to combine is multiple resin streams (resin plus calcium carbonate, where the bulk densities differ too much to blend evenly), that is what the dual-material model solves. The wrong machine will not fix the problem once it is installed — if you are unsure, send us your material list.
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 tanks, each powder dosed to its own ratio
- 150–180 kg/h throughput
- 10.5 L powder tank, less frequent refilling
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.
