       Figure 4. Digital Dosing Feeder Assembly 
 
 
1.  The Digital Dosing additive feeder is not affected by machine vibration, so the best 
performance is achieved by mounting the feeder directly on the feed throat of the 
molding machine or extruder (see Figure 4).  The inlet into the process machine must be 
greater than 2” diameter, or an adapter may be necessary. If an adapter is required, it 
must be designed so that there are no edges where material can hang up - it must be 
smooth to promote consistent material flow.
